Black Stars coach Otto Addo is set to submit his squad for the 2022 World Cup playoff against Nigeria on Thursday. 

A close source has told Ghanasoccernet.com that the former Ghana international has decided on the players he needs for the tough tie.

He will submit it to the Black Stars management committee for approval before an announcement is made.

The squad is expected to be dominated by players who took part in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations despite the Black Stars' woeful campaign.

Captain Adre Ayew will be absent because he is suspended following his straight red card in the Black Stars’ last game against Comoros.

Black Stars hope for an impressive performance to overcome the Super Eagles who are also looking to qualify for the World Cup to appease Nigerians after failing to go all the way in Cameroon.

The first leg scheduled for March 25 will be played at the Cape Coast. Four days later, the two teams will clash in Abuja for the second leg.
