Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz has decided to replace Mohammed Kudus in the squad for upcoming matches against Côte d’Ivoire, Gambia and Morocco. As per the original report, Kudus was initially included in the 24-man squad list. However, the player withdrew his name from the squad, and his place was taken by Mohammed Fuseini.
Speaking at a press conference, Queiroz explained that the decision to remove Kudus was made to ensure he becomes fully fit after his match against Aston Villa. The Portuguese coach stated that while they had initially believed Kudus was making progress, they had a conversation with him and decided that it would be best for him to rest and recover fully.
Queiroz acknowledged that they cannot control the decisions of club coaches, but the final decisions are based on the information they have. Ghana will participate in 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Côte d’Ivoire and Gambia before facing Morocco in an international friendly.
