Ghana make new call-ups for Nation\'s Cup qualifier

Ghana\'s James Kwesi Appiah, head coach of the senior national male soccer team, the Black Stars on Tuesday made two new call-ups in his 21-man squad for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. Espanyol\'s Mubarak Wakaso and Asante Kotoko midfielder, Daniel Nii Adjei were both handed their first senior call-ups for the return clash against Malawi on October 13 in Lilongwe. Ghana seeks to qualify for next year\'s finals in South Africa after winning the first leg 2-0 in Accra early last month. The Black Stars will camp in Kenya before traveling to Malawi for the game. Thirty countries and regions have been split into 15 home-and-away ties with the winners joining hosts, South Africa, who are automatic qualifiers for the Nations Cup. The competition switches to uneven-number years from 2013 to avoid every second tournament being staged in the same year as a World Cup. Ghana\'s Black Stars placed fourth at the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Nations Cup co-hosted by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea early this year.
