Herbert Addo has included four new players in his Ghana team for the final African Nations Championship – CHAN qualifying match against Burkina Faso at home.

Ghana will host the decisive clash on Sunday after drawing goalless in the first leg played last weekend in Ouagadougou.

The additions by coach Addo sees Asante Kotoko’s Kwabena Yaro handed a call up into the local Black Stars which begins preparations today in Accra.

The Kotoko striker will be joined by Joseph Joseph Ato-Bissah, Issaka Ibrahim and Abdul Bashiru.

With the first leg clash having finished goalless, Black Stars coach, Herbert Addo will be looking for a home win to secure qualification as the winner over the two-leg tie on aggregate score qualifies for the competition to be hosted by Sudan in 2011.

The Black Stars are looking at making another appearance at the competition, designed by CAF for only home-based players of its member countries.
