Ghana coach Otto Addo is focused on his 26-man squad for the 2022 Fifa World Cup and not on players omitted from the final list.
The Black Stars will play in Group H against Portugal, South Korea, and Uruguay. Otto Addo named his roster for the tourney, dropping top-flight players Jeffrey Schlupp and Joseph Paintsil.
The gaffer speaking at the squad announcement ceremony Monday evening spoke highly of the players for the World Cup.
“I think this team that we have assembled is our(technical team) decision and it must be respected and supported by everyone who loves Ghana.
“Many thanks to the Ghana Football Association’s top hierarchy for giving me the space to work on this decision.
“And what I have decided is based on my key performance index and other factors.”

Otto Addo when asked about the omission of Crystal Palace Jeffrey Schlupp said: “Our focus is on the team and I have had a chat with anyone we did not name.
That’s not how we build a team. The focus should be on the team and not anything else. We are ready to compete and we will do that.”
Ghana will play Portugal on November 24 to open its World Cup campaign.
But before that, the Stars face Switzerland in a World Cup friendly.
