In preparation for their forthcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Angola and Niger, Ghana’s coach Otto Addo has revealed his starting lineup.
Notably, captain Andre Ayew, who isn’t with a club right now and wasn’t picked last time around, isn’t on the squad. Majeed Ashimeru, who had been absent due to injury, and Inaki Williams, a standout for Athletic Bilbao, are back in the team.
Jordan Ayew, who scored a hat-trick in his most recent game, and other seasoned players will back up captain Thomas Partey.
Forson Amankwah and Ernest Nuamah are sidelined due to injuries. Amankwah has not been called up for this round of fixtures, despite the fact that his injury is not as bad.
On September 5, 2024, Black Stars will play their first Group F encounter at home in Kumasi against Angola. On September 9, 2024, they will travel to Niger for their second match.
