Black Stars head coach Chris Hughton could name an attacking line-up for Ghana's game against the United States of America.

The Black Stars picked up a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Mexico and would want to make amends in the game against the USA.

Hughton could make a few changes in the team that started the last friendly on Sunday.

Richard Ofori could replace Lawrence Ati-Zigi in goal while Alidu Seidu, Inaki
Williams, Jordan Ayew and Salis Samed are expected to replace Kingsley Schindler, Joseph Aidoo, Antoine Semenyo, and Elisha Owusu.

The changes would see Black Stars switch from a 3-back system to a familiar 4-back.

Hughton set his team in a 3-4-3 system against Mexico but could revert to his regular 4-2-3-1 against USA.

The game is scheduled to come off at GEODIS Park on Wednesday, October 18, 2023, at 00:30 GMT.
