AFCON 2027Q: ‘Black Stars will go into Somalia games to win’ – Henry Asante Twum
Ghana suffered a 2-0 defeat to Cote d'Ivoire in Bouake, followed by a humiliating 4-2 loss to Gambia at home.
Black Stars midfielder Daniel-Kofi Kyereh expressed his excitement about returning to the national team after a significant period of absence due to injury. Kyereh had been sidelined for nearly three years following his third anterior cruciate ligament injury, which left him unable to play for an extended time. The VfL Osnabrück midfielder now appears set to rejoin the Black Stars for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, having been seen at the Accra International Airport on Sunday evening.
Kyereh, 30 years old, shared his readiness to resume his duties with the national team during a brief media interaction at the airport. "It's been a long time. I am happy to be back, and I can't wait to see them all. I am ready to play," he told reporters. Kyereh has made a promising start to the current season in the 2. Bundesliga, netting two goals and providing an assist in nine games.
Ghana will face Somalia in their opening match of the qualifiers on Thursday, November 12, at the Essipong Sports Stadium in Sekondi, followed by a return fixture four days later.
