Kwasi Nyatakyi Dismisses Black Stars Squad Reports

Kwasi Nyatakyi says the provisional list making rounds in media circles as Ghana�s squad for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations is a fabrication.

A 23-man squad excluding veteran goalkeeper Richard Kingson, Jordan Ayew, Harrison Afful and a single outfield local player claimed to have been scooped by Captivating Ghana Sports has attracted a lot of public debates but the Ghana FA boss insists it is not official.

�I have heard of it (provisional squad) too but that list is not official,� he told GHANAsoccernet.com.

�Things like these are quiet expected during this time close to the naming of a squad for a tournament but as I have already said the actual list is yet to be released.

�A press conference will be held on December 15 to make the squad announcement so we all wait until that day.�

With Ghana coach Goran Stevanovic scheduled to release his team on 15 December it is only a matter of time before we will if the squad is right.
