Position: Defender
Born: 25.12.80
Club: Asante Kotoko

Shilla Alhassan Illiasu is one of just four Ghana-based players included in Ratomir Dujkovic's World Cup squad.

Currently playing for Asante Kotoko, Illiasu was a shock inclusion having not appeared for the Black Stars since 1998.

The fast, no-nonsense defender has been impressive for his club this season and could provide his country with the necessary steel at the back in the light of their dismal African Nations Cup showing.
