Coach Kwesi Appiah has dropped his first-choice goalkeeper Fatau Dauda and roped in home-based shot-stopper Stephen Adams in the friendly against Montenegro

Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Fatau Dauda is conspicuously missing from Ghana’s roster against Montenegro as coach Kwesi Appiah gives Stephen Adams a chance again in the main Black Stars.

The Aduana Stars glovesman was one of the key components of the Ghana squad that finished as runners up at the 2014 African Nations Championship (CHAN) in South Africa.

Ghana will face the Brave Falcons on March 5 at the Stadium Pod Goricum in Podgorica.

Rennes defender John Boye returns to the squad after missing out with an injury.

The match against Montenegro forms part of the Black Stars preparation for the World Cup in June.

Ghana squad:

Goalkeepers: Adam Kwarasey (Stromgodset, Norway), Stephen Adams (Aduana Stars)

Defenders: Harrison Afful (Esperance, Tunisia), Samuel Inkoom (Platanias, Greece), Daniel Opare (Standard Liege, Belgium), David Addy (Vitoria Guimaraes, Portugal), Jerry Akaminko (Eskisehirspor, Turkey), John Boye (Rennes, France), Jonathan Mensah (Evian, France)

Midfielders: Michael Essien (AC Milan, Italy), Sulley Muntari (AC Milan, Italy), Kwadwo Asamoah (Juventus, Italy), Kevin-Prince Boateng (Schalke, Germany), Emmanuel Agyemang Badu (Udinese, Italy), Albert Adomah (Middlesbrough, England), Mubarak Wakaso (Rubin Kazan, Russia), Christian Atsu (Vitesse Arnhem, Holland), Andre Ayew (Marseille, France)
