Otto Addo names starting XI for Germany clash

Otto Addo has made two adjustments to the Black Stars starting lineup for tonight’s high-profile international friendly against Germany at the MHP-Arena, with kick-off set for 18:45.

The changes touch both the goalkeeping and defensive departments while the core of the team remains intact.

In goal, Accra Hearts of Oak shot-stopper Benjamin Asare comes in for Lawrence Ati-Zigi, offering the local-based keeper a big opportunity on the international stage. At the back, OGC Nice defender Kojo Oppong Peprah is handed a start, taking the place of Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, who featured as a winger in the previous match against Austria.

Ghana will line up in a three-man central defense of Alexander Djiku, Jonas Adjetey and Kojo Oppong Peprah, with Caleb Yirenkyi and Derrick Kohn operating as wing-backs to provide width and balance. The midfield duo of Thomas Partey and Kwasi Sibo stays unchanged, tasked with controlling the center of the pitch.

Up front, Addo keeps faith with the attacking trio of Antoine Semenyo, Jordan Ayew and Prince Adu Kwabena, who will carry Ghana’s main goal threat against Germany.
