Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz has confirmed five new additions to Ghana’s squad ahead of Thursday’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Côte d’Ivoire in Bouaké.
Queiroz announced that Brandon Thomas-Asante, left-back Ebenezer Anang, Mohammed Fuseini, Jonas Adjetey and Alidu Seidu have all been confirmed as replacements following the latest changes to the squad.
“I am pleased to announce that in the front line we have new replacements confirmed. Thomas Asante will join the team. In the defensive line, left back Anang is coming, Mohammed Fuseini is also confirmed. Jonas Adjetey is coming and Alidu Seidu has also joined after starting to play,” Queiroz said.
The coach also revealed that the technical team is still working to finalise two more additions to the squad.
“We are still trying to confirm two other players, another centre-back and another centre-forward,” he added.
The latest changes come after Ghana were hit by a series of withdrawals and injury concerns ahead of the opening qualifier.
Mohammed Kudus withdrew from the squad to continue his recovery, while Lorient defender Nathaniel Adjei has also pulled out through injury. Thomas Partey was not invited because of his hamstring problems.
Ghana will face Côte d’Ivoire in Bouaké on Thursday before hosting The Gambia in Accra on September 29.
