Ghana will parade a young squad against 2010 Nations Cup hosts Angola on Wednesday in an international friendly.

"The young ones will always have opportunities. I intend to give them some playing time and see their level,” coach Milovan Rajevac told Ghanafa.org.

Regular players such as captain Stephen Appiah, Michael Essien, Sulley Muntari, Asamoah Gyan and Samuel Inkoom will not be involved.

Rajevac said, "It would be good to see how they play with some of the seniors. In training, you can see that they are willing to go.

"They have the quality but they must be prepared to fight for places. The experience will be good for them."

The Black Stars play the Palancas Negras at the Coqueiros Stadium as the Nations Cup hosts test one of their match venues ahead of the finals in January.

The West African team is already in the oil rich capital Luanda, boasting five members of their FIFA Under-20 World Cup winning team amongst the squad.

All eyes will be on goal poacher Dominic Adiyiah and goalkeeper Daniel Agyei, who may well make their debuts. Meanwhile, Andre Ayew and Opoku Agyemang could get to play for the seniors again.

Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu and Lee Addy played over the weekend in the World Cup qualifier against Mali that ended 2-2.

Heartland defender Aziz Ansah and Mark Sekyere of Asec Mimosa both made the squad.
