Mensah and six Ghana players with a big point to prove against Madagascar

After cementing their World Cup spot with victory over Nigeria in March, Ghana are set to return to action with a home clash with Madagascar in their opening game of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers on Wednesday.

An away encounter with the Central African Republic then follows, before Otto Addo's charges go to face Japan and Chile/Tunisia in the 2022 Kirin Cup.

Ahead of Wednesday's tie, GOAL looks at seven players who have big responsibilities to prove their worth in the Ghana squad, should they want to remain part of the team as the World Cup beckons.
