West Ham United playmaker Mohammed Kudus is set to make his first appearance of 2026 for Ghana after being named in the Black Stars squad for their critical TotalEnergies Confederation of African Football Africa Cup of Nations PAMOJA 2027 qualifying double-header against Somalia.
The squad selection also features a long-awaited return for midfielder Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, who earns his first national call-up in nearly 4 years following an extended period out of international contention.
Caretaker coach Kim Lars Björkegren has further boosted his options with the return of captain Jordan Ayew, who missed previous qualifiers against Côte d’Ivoire and The Gambia due to a groin injury, and defender Alidu Seidu.
Ghana enter the back-to-back fixtures under pressure to revive their qualification campaign, sitting bottom of Group C without a single point after dropping their opening two matches to Côte d’Ivoire and The Gambia.
The Black Stars will host Somalia at the Sekondi Sports Stadium on Thursday before travelling for the return fixture on November 16.
