EDIT: We've been had, folks. After finding several reports about what purported to be Ghana's 30-man roster, we felt comfortable running our own newser. It turns out, however, that the initial reports were at best a leak, and at worst a fabrication.

The Ghana FA have stated "categorically that there is absolutely no truth in the report.

"Coach Kwesi Appiah has not presented a provisional 30-man Black Stars squad to the GFA and has not prepared any such squad for any purpose."

The original version of this story went forward with the notion that Ghana had announced its official provisional roster. We regret the error.

Below you'll find the 30-man list from the leak/fabrication, which is absolutely not official.
