The 19-year-old will become one of the youngest players in the Ghana squad if its announced by coach Otto Addo on Monday.
Danlad, who has been outstanding for Ghana Premier League champions Asante Kotoko, has been handed a call-up into the team following injuries to Richard Ofori and Jojo Wollacot.
Both Ofori and Wollacot will miss the global tournament due to the setback – paving way for the highly-rated Danlad to sneak in.
He will be the second home-based star to make the 26-man squad expected to be announced by the gaffer in Accra on Monday November 14 at 11am.
Danlad helped Asante Kotoko to clinch the Ghana Premier League crown last season and also qualified the Black Stars -B to the CHAN tournament for the first time since 2014.
Ghana begin their World Cup campaign against Portugal on November 24, before facing South Korea four days later and concluding the group stage against Uruguay on December 2. Ghana head to Qatar for the World Cup desperately hoping to avoid a repeat of their last major tournament.
