Before the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Mali and the Central African Republic (CAR), Ghanaian winger Osman Bukari has finally joined his teammates in training.
Due to his recent transfer from Major League Soccer (MLS) powerhouse Austin FC to Serbian powerhouse Red Star Belgrade, Bukari was unable to participate in Friday’s first practice.
With Alexander Djiku remaining absent, 25 of the 26 players who were invited have already reported to camp as a result of his presence. Fenerbahce’s Djiku, a defender, is anticipated to join the team later because of an arm injury he had while playing for his team.
The Black Stars will continue their training on Saturday, June 1, at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium. The team is set to travel next week to face Mali on June 6, before hosting the Central African Republic on June 10.
Ghana is currently fourth in Group I with three points, following a win against Madagascar and a loss to Comoros.
The upcoming matches are critical for the Black Stars as they aim to improve their standings and keep their hopes alive for qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
