US-based quartet Kwadwo Poku, David Accam, Mohammed Abu and Gershon Koffie have earned call-ups to join the Black Stars team for the upcoming friendly matches against USA and Mexico.

The players were handed late call-ups following the omission of Andre Ayew and his brother Jordan Ayew as well as Daniel Amartey and Thomas Partey who all pulled out due to club commitment.

Also in the team are local-based defenders Nicholas Opoku and Samuel Sarfo.

The team left the country on Friday night for the game in Houston.
