Ghana are crossing fingers with crop of untested goalkeepers.

Ghana has unveiled their final 26-man squad for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 set to start in six days time.

Arsenal's on-form midfielder Thomas Partey leads a galaxy of stars, who will not only fly Ghana flag, but also Africa's.

The squad comprises two local-based players in goalkeeper Ibrahim Danlad of Asante Kotoko and midfielder Daniel Afriyie of Kotoko's arch rivals Hearts of Oak.

"Congratulations from all of us at Asante Kotoko. We believe in your abilities and we know you are going to make Ghana, your family and all of us proud. You have our support and blessings," Kotoko immediately tweeted.

Conspicuously missing from the Black Stars squad is 29-year-old Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Richard Ofori. Asked why some players are missing, coach Otto Addo replied, "they know why they're out."

Ghana are in Group H of the mundial alongside Netherlands, Portugal and South Korea. They begin their campaign on Saturday, November 17 against the Oranjes at Al Nahyan Stadium.
