Striker Emmanuel Toku was called on late to replace injured striker Basit Abdul Rahman Umar before the start of the CAF U20 Nations Cup 2019 in Niger this weekend.
GHANASoccernet.com understands that Basit is injured in the friendly match against FC Sahel.
The tests revealed that the New Edubiase United player will be away for 4 to 6 weeks and that Ghana is allowed to replace a player injured 24 hours before his first group match of the tournament.
The technical team sent an SOS message to Toku, whose omission of the final team raised eyebrows.
Toku played a pivotal role for Ghana's under-17 team in 2017 when he helped them finish second in the African championship.
He participated in the FIFA U-17 World Cup in India.
Last year, Toku scored two goals for the Black Satellites at the WAFU Zone B U20 tournament.
Ghana opens its campaign against Burkina Faso on Sunday before facing Senegal and Mali in Group B.
