  "account": "As Ghanaians eagerly await the official Black Stars squad for their upcoming matches against Somalia in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, several players have been spotted at Accra International Airport. Among them are Brandon Thomas-Asante, Felix Afena-Gyan, and goalkeeper Joseph Anang. The trio are expected to make the Black Stars squad for the doubleheader against Somalia.\n\nAfena-Gyan, a forward, recently spoke to the media after arriving at the Black Stars camp ahead of Ghana’s previous fixture against Cote d'Ivoire and Gambia. Both matches resulted in losses for the team. Thomas-Asante's arrival in Ghana for the matches against Somalia was also noted.\n\nInterim head coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren is anticipated to announce the official squad for the two games against Somalia later on Monday, November 9. Another player set to return to the national team is Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, who also arrived in the country on Sunday evening. Ghana is scheduled to play against Somalia on November 12 and 16.",
