Eddie Nketiah's international future remains uncertain after missing the Black Stars squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Madagascar and Central African Republic.

The English-born Arsenal forward also missed England manager Gareth Southgate's squad for the Nations League next month against Hungary, Germany and Italy.

The 22-year-old, who is England's U21 top scorer, is yet to decide on his international future after contacts with the Ghana Football Association.

Nketiah had a good end to the 2021/22 season, scoring five goals in his last seven matches for the Gunners in the English Premier League.

His contract expires at the end of the month and will seek to sort that out before announcing his nationality switch.

Meanwhile, Black Stars skipper Andre Ayew and Benjamin Tetteh make a return to the team after missing out of the 2022 World Cup playoff against Nigeria due to suspension.

Bristol City forward Antoine Semenyo will be making his debut after missing out on his first call up for the World Cup playoff against Nigeria due to injury.

Bechem United star Augustine Okrah has been handed his debut call up by Coach Otto Addo for the upcoming games.

The Black Stars take on Madagascar in their opening game on June 1 at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium.

Ghana will travel for the second game against Central Africa Republic which will be played in Angola.
