The Ghana FA has denied reports that America-based striker David Accam has received a late call-up to join the Black Stars for Sunday's World Cup qualifier against Egypt.

American side Chicago Fire claimed on Tuesday that their winger Accam recevied a late call-up to join the Black Stars on Tuesday.

According to the report on the MLS side's website the winger was given a late call to take part of the squad for Sunday's 2018 World Cup Qualifying match against Egypt in Alexandria.

However the GFA's spokesman Ibrahim Sannie told the media that Accam is not part of the Ghana squad and has not been given a late call up.

Accam was not part of the 23-man squad coach Avram Grant named for the match to be played in Alexandria.

With no reported late injuries, the call-up for Accam coames as a surprise with all the 23 players expected to report to camp in Dubai.

Chicago Fire star David Accam was surprisingly been left out of Ghana’s squad for the 2018 World Cup qualifier clash against Egypt despite a fantastic campaign in the MLS.

Accam ended the season on a high as he claimed Chicago Fire top scorer and Most Valuable Player awards but Black Stars head coach Avram Grant has dropped the in-form attacker for the must-win encounter.

He scored nine goals in 21 appearances for the Chicago-based club.

The 26-year old was invited for the goalless draw against Uganda but was unused due to the availability of skipper Asamoah Gyan and Jordan Ayew as the duo started.

Accam was also unused in friendly against South Africa which the Black Stars drew 1-1.

David Accam has been capped five times Ghana and has scored a goal.

Ghana has been drawn into Group E with Congo, Egypt and Uganda.
