Akpeyi moved to Chippa after the CHAN-2014 tournament in South Africa and has been among the best PSL goalkeepers since.
Should Zambia win on Saturday‚ they will not only cause yet another upset but suddenly put themselves in line to qualify for a first-ever World Cup.
Their squad is captained by Kennedy Mweene of Mamelodi Sundowns and has new Orlando Pirates signing Justin Shonga and Rodrick Kabwe of Ajax Cape Town among their newer members.
Brian Mwila of Platinum Stars would have also been included had he not picked up an injury.
That keeps him sidelined this week.
At the 2014 World Cup in Brazil‚ there were two PSL-based players in Ghana’s 23-man squad – goalkeeper Fatau Dauda‚ who was on Pirates’ books at the time‚ and Rashid Sumaila‚ then at Sundowns but is now playing in Kuwait. - TimesLIVE
