Black Stars: Thomas-Asante receives late call-up for September-October games
The forward is expected to join the national team for the upcoming games against Côte d’Ivoire, Gambia and Morocco.
Coventry City forward Brandon Thomas-Asante has been unexpectedly selected to join the Black Stars national team for their upcoming September-October international matches. The injury-prone player has joined the squad as one of two replacements, replacing Mohammed Kudus who withdrew and Prince Adu Kwabena, who suffered a head injury over the weekend.
Thomas-Asante had previously been part of the Black Stars squad during the 2026 FIFA World Cup held in Mexico, Canada, and the USA, where they were eliminated in the Round of 32. He managed to set up the only goal of the game against Panama in Ghana's first match. Initially, Thomas-Asante was not included in the 24-man squad announced by Carlos Queiroz for the upcoming assignments, but he was granted a late call-up to the team.
Ghana will kick off their international break with a qualifier against Côte d’Ivoire, followed by a home game against Gambia at the Accra Sports Stadium five days later. The final fixture in the window will be a friendly against Morocco on October 4.
