  "account": "Ghana midfielder Daniel-Kofi Kyereh is prepared to represent the Black Stars in the upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The Black Stars will face Somalia in a two-match series on November 12 and November 16, with the first leg scheduled at the Essipong Sports Stadium in Ghana's Western Region. Kyereh made an appearance at the Accra International Airport alongside fellow Ghanaian players Brandon-Thomas Asante and goalkeeper Joseph Annag, even before the official squad announcement for the international window. Although Kyereh did not feature in Ghana's 2022 World Cup squad, substitution in their final group game against Uruguay, injuries had hampered his progress both for his club and national team. However, the 30-year-old now seems to be past the setbacks, as he expressed his enthusiasm, saying, \"It's been a long time. I'm happy to be back. I can't wait to see them all and I'm ready to play.\" Kyereh's return was officially confirmed on Monday when interim Black Stars coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren introduced the 26-man squad for the Somalia double-header. The midfielder hopes his return will help lift Ghana from Group C's bottom spot and restore the Black Stars' hopes for a spot at the 2027 AFCON.",
