GHANA VS. MOZAMBIQUE: FIVE THINGS TO WATCH AS KWARASEY EYES RETURN & GYAN BATTLES INJURY

-


Mognewsportal run down the key talking points ahead of the Black Stars' bout with the Mambas on Thursday.
Ghana will host Mozambique at the Accra Sports Stadium on Thursday in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
The game will be the third Group  fixture for each country, and with the hosts already having recorded two wins, over Lesotho and Rwanda, a victory over Mozambique would put the Black Stars on the brink of qualification.
In this feature, we run down the five things fans ought to keep an eye on as Avram Grant's side take to the field once again.

Adam Kwarasey's return
The Portland Timbers shot-stopper has rescinded his decision to retire prematurely from the Black Stars, originally taken after the 2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil.
Kwarasey, 28, was 'conspicuously' relegated to the substitute's bench after Ghana's 2-1 defeat to USA in the opening group game, and Fatau Dauda held the fort against eventual winners Germany and Portugal.
In spite of every rumour of him lacking loya

His declaration follows the current attacks on national security personnel by criminals with the recent one resulting in the killing of Inspector Emmanuel Ashilevi who was shot at the Kwabenya Police Station when gunmen invaded the station to free seven suspects.
