“We have a chance, nobody sees us as favourites which is expected,” Aljazeera quoted Ayew as saying.

“So we’re not going into any of the matches as favourites but we’re there to fight and make an impact .

“No doubt it will be a very difficult group for every team and all we have to do is to be ready, focused, determined, full squad and have a bit of luck.

” If we have our full squad, we can seriously disrupt a lot of teams . I am not concerned because I know what Ghana is capable of.”

The Black Stars of Ghana have qualified for the World Cup four times; in Germany 2006, South Africa 2010, Brazil 2014 and Qatar 2022.
