Kudus, Kyereh return as Kim Lars Björkegren names 26-man Black Stars squad for Somalia double-header

Mohammed Kudus and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh headline four returnees named in the Black Stars squad for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying double-header against Somalia.

Head Coach Kim Lars Björkegren has recalled the duo alongside Alidu Seidu and Ibrahim Osman as Ghana seek to revive their qualifying campaign.

Kudus, who plays for Tottenham Hotspur, has not featured for the Black Stars in 2026 after an injury ruled him out of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Kyereh, of VfL Osnabrück, returns to the national team for the first time in four years. He has been out of international football since December 2022 due to injury.

The other two returnees are Alidu Seidu of OGC Nice and Ibrahim Osman of Brighton & Hove Albion.

The four players join the rest of the 26-man squad as Ghana seek to bounce back from defeats in their opening qualifiers against Côte d’Ivoire and The Gambia.

Ghana will take on Somalia in the first leg on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 15:00 GMT.

The return fixture is scheduled for Monday, November 16, 2026, also at 15:00 GMT.
