Mohammed Kudus, Kofi Kyereh return as Kim Lars recalls four players

Head coach Kim Lars Björkegren recalls four players, including Mohammed Kudus and Daniel Kofi Kyereh, for Ghana’s upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Somalia.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Kudus returns to the national team after missing all of Ghana’s matches in 2026 due to an injury that also forced him to miss the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

German-based midfielder Daniel Kofi Kyereh is another notable returnee, earning his first Black Stars invitation in four years. The VfL Osnabrück player has been out of international football since December 2022 after suffering an injury.

OGC Nice defender Alidu Seidu and Brighton & Hove Albion forward Ibrahim Osman complete the list of returning players as Ghana prepare for the two encounters.

The four players will join the other members of the 26-man squad as the Black Stars look to revive their qualifying campaign following defeats to Côte d’Ivoire and The Gambia in their opening two matches.

Ghana will host Somalia in the first meeting on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 15:00 GMT before travelling for the return fixture on Monday, November 16, 2026, with kick-off also scheduled for 15:00 GMT.
