Ghana’s head coach, Otto Addo, has selected a 25-man roster for the forthcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Sudan.
Thomas Teye Partey, the team’s captain and star midfielder, returns after missing last month’s qualifiers against Angola and Niger due to illness. After impressive performances in the present Premier League and the CAF Champions League preliminary rounds, FC Samartex left-back Isaac Afful has earned his second call-up.
Razak Simpson, a defender for Nations FC and a midfielder for Asante Kotoko, has also got their first call-up.
The roster for the qualifiers also includes Ibrahim Sulemana of Atalanta and Ernest Nuamah of Olympique Lyon.
Later this month, the Black Stars will play their final set of qualifying matches against Angola and Niger in an attempt to make it to the 2025 tournament in Morocco despite all odds.
On November 15, they will journey to Luanda to play Angola, and three days later, they will play at home against the Niger Republic.
Ghana must win their games and hope Sudan lose against Niger and Angola to be able to qualify for the tournament.
