According to our sources, Ghana head coach Kwasi Appiah called up Yartey because of his impressive displays for Swiss top flight side Servette.
Footy-ghana.com can also confirm that Standard Liege defender Daniel Opare has also been named in a yet-to-be-officially released squad for the double header, as had Berekum Chelsea full back Richard Kissi Boateng and Asante Kotoko right back Yaw Frimpong.
