There will be seven new faces in the Black Stars camp when they resume camping for their international friendly against Mali on October 9, 2020.
A deserving call up has been handed John Antwi of Pyramids FC while Tanzania-based Yakubu Mohammed and unattached Razak Abalora have also been called.
Benson Anang of MSK Zilina in Slovakia, Emmanuel Lomotey of Amiens in France and youngster Kamal Deen who plays for Danish side Nordsjaelland have also been handed call ups by the Ghana Coach.
France-born Alexander Djiku will also for the first time, share a national team camp with Andre Ayew, Partey and the other stars.
The match will be Akonnor’s first since he was appointed in January this year.
Akonnor’s debut game was delayed due to the pandemic that brought the game to its knees.
The match forms part of preparations for the 2021 AFCON qualifiers.
