Udinese midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu is captaining the Black Stars for their final match against Togo in the 2015 Africa Cup Nations in Tamale, Wednesday.
Substantive captain Asamoah Gyan and stand-in Andre Ayew are injured as the four-time African champions need a win or a draw badly to pick up a ticket to Equatorial Guinea.
Lorient attacker Jordan Ayew, who missed the previous game against Uganda, is back from suspension to partner Majeed Waris in attack.
Full line-up: Razak Brimah, Harrison Afful, Baba Rahman, John Boye, Jonathan Mensah, Rabiu Mohammed, Solomon Asante, Agyemang Badu, Majeed Waris, Jordan Ayew, Mubarak Wakaso
