Mensah And Antwi Join Ghana Squad For Bosnia Friendly

Ghana's budding defender Jonathan Mensah has replaced injured Isaac Vorsah in the Black Stars set-up for Wednesday's international friendly against Bosnia and Herzegovina. The 19-year-old centre-back was an unused substitute at the just concluded Africa Cup of Nations in Angola. Mensah was a member of Ghana's 2009 Fifa Under-20 World Cup winning team and he is on-loan at Spanish Segunda division side Granada from Udinese. Vorsah tore a medial collateral knee ligament last Saturday during a Bundesliga match at Hertha Berlin and has been ruled out of action for six weeks. Serbia-based striker Yaw Antwi has also replaced in-form Portsmouth winger Qunicy Owusu-Abeyie in Milovan Rajevac's 18-man squad. "Qunicy was invited but his injury at club level has denied him a return to the national team. You don't need 20 players when 18 players can play this one-off match,"Ghana FA Vice President Fred Pappoe told Ghanasoccernet.com FC Porto youngster David Addy earns a call-up as the Serbian trainer finds an antidote to his problematic left-back position. Getafe midfielder Derek Boateng has been recalled into the team after missing out on the Africa Cup of Nations.
