2027 AFCONQ: Daniel-Kofi Kyereh earns Ghana recall after lengthy injury absence ahead of Somalia double-header

Ghana midfielder Daniel-Kofi Kyereh has been summoned back into the national squad for the upcoming 2027 AFCON qualifying matches against Somalia. The 30-year-old has made a triumphant return to the team after a prolonged absence due to an injury that sidelined him for nearly three years. Kyereh's last appearance for Ghana was in December 2022, but he suffered a serious anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during a training session with German club Freiburg in February 2023.

This injury required surgery, keeping him out of action for an extended period. Nevertheless, Kyereh has been steadily regaining his fitness and has already started showing his form at his current club, VfL Osnabrück. In just nine appearances for the German side this season, the midfield maestro has managed to score twice and provide one assist.

His recent performances have impressed, earning him a coveted recall to the Black Stars. Having made 18 appearances for Ghana in the past, Kyereh is eager to make an impact on his return and contribute to the team's cause. Ghana faces Somalia in two crucial matches on November 12 and 16, both to be played at the Essipong Stadium.

The Black Stars are keen to turn their recent poor performances, including consecutive defeats against Ivory Coast and The Gambia, around by securing maximum points in these encounters. As four-time African champions, Ghana aims to increase their chances of qualifying for the 2027 AFCON tournament.
