Augustine Okrah and Daniel Afriyie Barnieh did not make the cut for the match.

The Black Stars were ruthless in their season opener, defeating Madagascar 3-0 at the Cape Coast stadium on Wednesday.

Addo and his charges will be looking for a second win to extend their lead at the top of the group.
