Côte d'Ivoire and The Gambia await Ghana in the upcoming 2027 AFCON qualifiers, with Brandon Thomas-Asante back in the Black Stars' squad. The recall of Coventry City forward comes as the national team seeks attacking options following Mohammed Kudus' withdrawal and Prince Adu Kwabena's head injury. Kudus originally named in the initial 24-man squad but pulled out before the September window, while Adu Kwabena's doubt adds to the reshuffle.
In response, Ghana has also called up Derby County forward Mohammed Fuseini as additional cover. Thomas-Asante is set to join Carlos Queiroz's team for final preparations ahead of the away opener against Côte d'Ivoire on 24 September in Bouaké.
