Ghana is set to feature a second string team when they play Bafana Bafana in an international friendly in Bloemfontein tomorrow.

The Black Stars arrived in Johannesburg yesterday without most of their regular overseas-based players.

Notable absentees in their squad are the England-based duo of goalkeeper Richard Kingson and defender John Pantsil along with Italy-based midfielder Sulley Muntari and striker Asamoah Gyan.

Other absentees in the four- times African Cup of Nations champions include Andre Ayew, John Mensah, Quincy Owusu-Abeyie and Junior Agogo.

Skipper Stephen Appiah remains the most capped player in the Ghana senior squad that touched down at the OR Tambo International airport.

Kaizer Chiefs defender Jonathan Quartey is also included in the Ghanaian squad to face Bafana Bafana.

Meanwhile, Bafana Bafana has managed to retain all their regular and overseas-based players including Aaron Mokoena, Benni McCarthy, Siyabonga Nkosi, Bryce Moon and Nasief Morris.
