Mohammed Kudus, the Tottenham Hotspur forward, has withdrawn from Ghana's squad for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The 26-year-old is continuing his recovery from a long-term injury, which has kept him sidelined for around seven months. Kudus had been part of Carlos Queiroz’s 24-man squad for the qualifying matches against Côte d’Ivoire, The Gambia, and the friendly against Morocco.
He made his first competitive appearance for Spurs in May this season, playing in five matches so far. His withdrawal is a significant blow to the Black Stars, as Kudus is considered one of the team's most influential attacking players. Ghana is scheduled to face Côte d’Ivoire in Bouaké on September 24, host The Gambia at Accra Sports Stadium on September 29, and travel to Morocco for an international friendly against Atlas Lions on October 4.
The qualifiers aim to help Ghana return to the Africa Cup of Nations after missing the previous edition in Morocco.
