Ghana Coach Rings Changes For Uruguay Clash

Ghana U-20 coach Sellas Tetteh will play three new players in his starting line-up for Friday�s clash with Uruguay in Group D at the World Cup in Egypt. With the Black Satellites through to the second round of the tournament, Tetteh can now afford to try the other players in his squad.Real Madrid defender Daniel Opare will play his first game of the tournament as he has been overshadowed by Samuel Inkoom in the right-back position. Inkoom has been favoured in the position because of his experience and was instrumental in their victories over Uzbekistan and England. Opare is a highly-rated player but has recently been hampered by a knee injury which kept him out of action for four months. He has now been handed the opportunity to upstage Inkoom who had played several matches for the full Ghana internationals. A good performance in the game could also spark his call-up into the Real Madrid first team as the club has sent scouts to monitor his performance. Liberty Professionals defender Ghandy Kassenu takes the place of Denmark-based David Addy in the left-back position. Addy has also excelled in Ghana�s opening two matches but Kassenu has also shown promise and has been given the chance to impress. Qatar-based Opoku Agyemang will start his right wing position from the bench as his place will be taken by France-based midfielder Abeiku Quansah. The Nice winger served as the substitute for Agyemang the opening two matches but he will not start in the position. Despite all the three changes, the key players including captain Dede Ayew, Ransford Osei, Dominic Adiyiah and central defender Jonathan Mensah maintain their place in the squad. The Black Satellites must beat Uruguay to finish top of the group and avoid difficult opponents in the second round of the tournament. Starting line-up: Daniel Agyei, Daniel Opare, Kassenu Ghandi, Jonathan Mensah, Daniel Addo, Agyemang Badu, Abeiku Quansah, Rabiu Mohammed, Dominic Adiyiah, Ransford Osei, Andre Ayew Subs: Gladson Awako, Opoku Agyemang, Latif Salifu, David Addy, Samuel Inkoom, Philip Boampong, Robert Dabuo, John Benson, Bright Addae, Joseph Addo
