The former Chelsea boss named his squad for the World Cup qualifier without the duo who have been battling injuries. But Juventus midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah was left out of the squad by Grant to take time off to recover fully from his injury. Ghana will play the Egyptians in Alexandria in the second group game of the World Cup qualifier after drawing goalless with lowly-ranked Uganda in the opening group game. While Egypt want to win the game to cement their chances of qualifying the World Cup in Russia, Ghana only needs to avoid defeat to keep hopes alive of making it to their fourth consecutive World Cup.
