Comfort Yeboah, an experienced defender, will not be participating as she failed to reach an agreement with Spanish club Logroño United. Jessica Appiah Asamoah, a promising winger, will also miss out due to a knee injury. Mercy Attobrah, known for scoring both goals in a qualifier against Tunisia, has been sidelined with an ACL injury while playing for her Egyptian side.
