Ghana will not make any changes to its 23-man squad for next month's African Cup of Nations in Angola, the Ghana FA has revealed.

Speculation has been rife that three players will be given late call-ups to the squad to replace some named in Milovan Rajevac's squad

Asempa FM reported that Sulley Muntari, Egypt league's leading scorer Eric Bekoe and Derick Boateng will be called up to replace the three unknown players.

But the Ghana Football Association insists there will no changes in the squad as the Serbian coach has not made any changes to the squad.

"The coach has not told us that he is about to make any changes to the squad so we are sticking to our list," Ghana FA spokesman Randy Abbey said.

"The coach has named his squad, he has not made any changes so Ghanaians are backing the team for victory in Angola."

Ghana will resume camping for the Nations Cup in South Africa on 27 December.

The Black Stars have been drawn in Group B of the tournament to play Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast and Togo.
