Fabio Capello will make several changes when England face World Cup Quarter-Finalists Ghana.
England manager Fabio Capello will field a much changed lineup from the weekend’s Euro 2012 Qualifying victory over Wales. Captain John Terry, Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole and Wayne Rooney have all been sent back to their clubs and will play no part on Tuesday. Aaron Lennon and Michael Dawson have also been released from the England camp and have returned to Tottenham Hotspur.

Capello told BBC Sport this weekend he will make “about seven changes” for the clash with World Cup Quarter-Finalists Ghana. Joe Hart will play in goal and Liverpool striker Andy Carroll is set to lead the Three Lions attack. Gary Cahill, Phil Jagielka and Leighton Baines are all expected play in defense for England.

Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry will captain England, while West Ham United’s Scott Parker will also play if he is passed fit.

Ghana will field a number of players who will be familiar faces to home fans at Wembley Stadium. Goalkeeper Richard Kingson plays in the English Premier League for Blackpool, while Sulley Muntari and Asamoah Gyan both play for Sunderland.

England vs Ghana Match Report

Stewart Flaherty, Mar 30th 2011
A superb injury time goal by Asamoah Gyan earned Ghana a 1-1 draw against England in an international friendly at Wembley Stadium.
Asamoah Gyan's late goal earned Ghana a 1-1 draw with England at Wembley Stadium.
Asamoah Gyan's late goal earned Ghana a 1-1 draw with England at Wembley Stadium.
Liverpool striker Andrew Carroll had given England a first half lead, before Sunderland’s Gyan leveled matters with a fine solo strike in added time.

The game was an entertaining affair and the tone was set early as both teams had early scoring chances. First Dominic Adiyiah was released before being denied by Joe Hart in the England goal, before Ashley Young forced a good save from Richard Kingson.

England then created another chance when Stewart Downing crossed to his Aston Villa teammate Young, but the winger fired against the crossbar when it seemed easier to score. Ghana soon threatened at the other end, and a Sulley Muntari free kick was met by Adiyiah, only for Hart to keep the scores level with an athletic save.

Young and Downing were impressive throughout the first half and were instrumental as England went ahead with only two minutes remaining in the first half. Young’s cross found Downing, and the former Middlesbrough winger’s layoff was fired past Kingson by Carroll for his first England goal.

Ghana pressed forward in the second half and almost leveled twice soon after the intermission. First John Pantsil’s drive was deflected over the bar, and then Jonathan Mensah headed wide from the resulting corner.

Both teams made a number of changes in the second half and Danny Welbeck came on for his England debut, only to be mercilessly booed by Ghana fans. Welbeck opted to play for England despite also being eligible for Ghana.

Ghanaian boo’s would later turn to cheers as Gyan grabbed a dramatic equalizer. The Sunderland striker picked up possession and drove at the England defense, showing quick feet to bamboozle Joleon Lescott and send a neat finish into the far corner for a final 1-1 score line.
