Here are some returnees to expect in the squad


Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer

Ransford-Yeboah has not made the Black Stars squad since the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

The forward has been on sublime form for Hamburger SV in Bundesliga 2 and thus is in line to return to the squad.

The German-born Ghanaian has scored four goals and provided one assist in seven games this season.

Alexander Djiku

Fenerbache defender, Alexander Djiku pulled out of the last Black Stars squad due to a minor injury.

The defender has returned and featured for his club since. Hence, he is expected to make his return to the Black Stars.

Ernest Nuamah

The Olympique Lyon winger has returned from injury after missing out on the last call-up.

He has been featured in three games since his return but has played limited minutes as he currently fighting for a place in the starting eleven.

Nuamah is a key figure for Otto Addo's project hence his return could be a boost for the manager who could name him in the squad to face Sudan.
