Kwarasey will be called up for Nigeria clash

Norway-born Adam Larsen Kwarasey is set to make his Ghana debut on 9 August against Nigeria in an international friendly, GHANAsoccernet.com can confirm.
The 23-year-old shot-stopper was cleared by Fifa to play for Ghana last month with the intervention of FA president Kwesi Nyantakyi after three years of delayed paper works.
He is now set to play his first game for the Black Stars when they meet rivals Nigeria at the Vicarage Stadium in Watford, London.
With ace Richard Kingson under-fire to make-way for new faces, the technical team is expected to hand Kwarasey some playing time.
“Now Fifa has cleared him to play for Ghana and we are hoping he will play his first game for the team against Nigeria in August,” Ghana FA president Kwesi Nyantakyi told GHANAsoccernet.com
The Strømsgodset first choice turned down invitations to play for Norway’s under-21 side in 2008 with the hope of playing for Ghana
