Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Ibrahim Sannie Daara has emphasized that, Black Stars head coach, James Kwesi Appiah will not invite any player to replace injured Kevin-Prince Boateng in his squad to face Egypt.
According to him, Kwesi Appiah�s intension of inviting 25 players was to have a backup in case of injuries.
He however noted that, �there will be no need to invite another player to replace him (KP Boateng) since FIFA�s rule only allows 23 players for a match�.
The Schalke 04 playmaker has confirmed he will stay in Germany to have his knee examined by his club�s medical team. Thus, he will not be available for Ghana�s squad that will face Egypt on October 15.
Kevin-Prince Boateng who missed Ghana�s FIFA group stage World Cup qualifier against Zambia due to injury again picked up another knee injury last Saturday when Schalke 04 beat Augusburg 4-1 in the Germany Bundesliga.
Speaking to PEACE FM�s PEACE POWER SPORTS , Sannie Daara said that, the GFA is looking forward to receiving a medical report from Schalke 04 to affirm the Germany-born-Ghanaian star�s injury situation.
