Mohammed Fuseini has been unexpectedly included in Ghana’s national team, the Black Stars, for the upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, replacing Mohammed Kudus who has decided to skip the team due to his recent focus on recovering from a prolonged injury. Kudus, who was set to return to international football after the 2026 FIFA World Cup, opted out earlier this year.
Fuseini, a Derby County forward, is a 24-year-old who made his debut for Ghana during the 2025 Unity Cup, participating in matches against Nigeria and Trinidad and Tobago, and scoring his first goal against Trinidad and Tobago. This inclusion marks his first national team appearance since his debut. The 24-year-old has been included in the squad in good form recently, scoring a late equalizer in Derby County’s 1-1 draw with Burnley last weekend.
Ghana will kick off their AFCON qualifying campaign with a game away to Côte d’Ivoire, followed by a home match against Gambia five days later at the Accra Sports Stadium. Their final match before the international break ends will be a friendly against Morocco on October 4th.
