Black Stars: Mohammed Fuseini receives late call-up for September-October games after head injury
The forward, who joined the Championship side in the summer, is expected to join the national team for the upcoming games against Côte d’Ivoire, Gambia and Morocco.
Derby Country forward Mohammed Fuseini has been unexpectedly called up to join the Black Stars national team for their upcoming series of international matches. The Championship side forward, who joined in the summer, is set to play against Côte d’Ivoire, Gambia, and Morocco. Fuseini has been called in to replace Mohammed Kudus, who has chosen to skip the return to the national team after recovering from a prolonged injury that kept him out of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
This selection is not unexpected given the uncertainty surrounding Prince Adu Kwabena's availability due to his own recent head injury. Fuseini made his debut for the national team during the 2025 Unity Cup, scoring a goal against Trinidad and Tobago. Since then, he has not received any more invitations, making this his first since his debut.
Over the weekend, Fuseini scored a late equalizer in Derby County's 1-1 draw with Burnley. For Ghana, the international break kicks off with a match against Côte d’Ivoire as part of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, followed by a home game against Gambia five days later, and concluding with a friendly against Morocco on October 4.
