ACCRA - Ghana coach Goran Stevanovic included uncapped trio Adam Kwarasey, Rabiu Mohammed and Albert Adomah in his squad for the penultimate round of qualifiers in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Stevanovic named Kwarasey, a goalkeeper with Norway's Stromgodest, France-based midfielder Rabiu and Adomah of England's Bristol City in Wednesday's 23-man selection for the Group I match with Swaziland on September 2 and a friendly international against Brazil in London on September 5.

Norway-born Kwarasey and Adomah were expected to make their debuts against Nigeria in Watford this month but that match was canceled because of rioting in London. They will get another chance at a first cap when unbeaten Ghana, who share top spot in their African qualifying group with Sudan, face winless Swaziland in Accra.

Leicester's John Paintsil, Lyon's John Mensah, Inter Milan midfielder Sulley Muntari and strikers Asamoah Gyan of Sunderland and Prince Tagoe of Hoffenheim were all picked. - Sapa-AP
