Addo has also reverted to a back four, with Alidu Seidu, Gideon Mensah, Alexander Djiku and Mohammed Salisu protecting Lawrence Ati-Zigi in the post.

Mohammed Kudus has also been maintained from the team that beat Mali 2-1 four days ago in Bamako, while Ayew will lead the attack after coming off the bench to score against the Eagles.
