Ghana coach Goran Stevanovic has named three uncapped players in his squad for next month's African Cup of Nations qualifier and friendly against Brazil.
They are Adam Kwarasey, a goalkeeper with Norway's Stromgodest, France-based midfielder Rabiu Mohammed and Albert Adomah of England's Bristol City.
The Black Stars play Swaziland on 2 September in a Nations Cup tie before facing Brazil in London on 5 September.
Kwarasey was born in Norway but opted to play for his father's home country.
Along with Rabiu, Kwarasey was in line to make his debut against Nigeria in a friendly in Watford, until the match was cancelled three weeks ago due to the riots in London.
Also included in the 23-man squad are Leicester's John Paintsil, Lyon's John Mensah, Inter Milan midfielder Sulley Muntari and strikers Asamoah Gyan and Prince Tagoe.
A notable exclusion from the team is AC Milan midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng.
Forward Dominic Adiyiah has been included in the squad despite recently joining a Turkish second division side.
Chelsea's Michael Essien is unavailable because of a long-term injury.
