Grant won't replace injured Rahman

Avram Grant will not give a late call up to anyone after Baba Rahman's injury.

That move, according to supersport.com sources, is to avoid complication of travel plans which are far advanced for Ghana's two games against Senegal and Mali.

In-form Augsburg player Baba Rahman sustained what is suspected to be a toe injury at the weekend in the German top flight and the GFA is awaiting official confirmation to that effect.

It is believed that the availability of Jeffery Schlupp has made the decision not to issue a callup easy for Grant.
