Breaking News: Black Stars duo Yiadom, Rahman to start from Ghana U20 bench against France:- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ghana’s U20 team at the African Youth Championship in Algeria. Ghana coach Sellas Tetteh has left out Black Stars duo Richmond Boakye-Yiadom and Baba Rahman from his starting line-up to face France in their Group A opener on Friday in Istanbul. The duo joined their teammates on Wednesday and trained only once with the team yesterday after arriving late from the Black Stars camp. Striker Boakye-Yiadom played a cameo in the just concluded double 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Sudan and Lesotho this month. Rahman, who plays for Greuther Furth, was an unused substitute. Inter Milan youngster Alfred Duncan made the starting XI after dislodging Siedu Salifu in the holding midfield role. Diminutive Moses Odjer plays as the offensive midfielder with Frank Acheampong attacking from the left flank and Michael Anaba as right winger. Ebenezer Assifuah and Francis Narh will lead the attack. Tetteh has maintained the defensive pair of captain Lawrence Lartey and Joseph Attamah. Ghana have never lost a group game at a FIFA U-20 World Cup. The West Africans have chalked up nine victories and six draws in their five editions thus far. Kick-off is at 15:00 GMT Ghana’s line-up: Eric Ofori Antwi- Lawrence Lartey, Joseph Attamah, Eric Ofori, Richmond Nketiah-Alfred Duncan, Moses Odjer, Frank Acheampong, Michael Anaba-Ebenezer Assifuah, Francis Narh.
