Goalkeeper Richmond Ayi has been cleared by the medical team to face Japan on Tuesday.

The Accra Hearts of Oak shot-stopper missed the first game after picking up a fracture during training but is now available for selection.

Ayi is one of the two goalkeepers who made it to the games and will compete with William Esso for a starting berth.

Ghana lost heavily to Japan (6-0) in the first game at the Fukkuoka Stadium on Saturday and have to work their socks off to make amends in the second game on Tuesday, June 8, 2021.

This is a preparatory game for Japan ahead of the 2020 Olympic games scheduled for Tokyo in July.

The Black Meteors will later travel to South Korea to play their U-24 side in two separate friendly matches.
