Inaki Williams is poised to make his return to the Black Stars after missing the last international window due to injury.

The Athletic Bilbao forward is expected to be included in Ghana's squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Angola and Niger in September.

Williams missed the previous two Ghana matches after undergoing surgery towards the end of the campaign, which also ruled him out of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Despite his absence, the Black Stars secured crucial back-to-back wins against Mali and Central African Republic, reigniting their hopes of qualifying for the tournament.

Having featured in Athletic Bilbao's La Liga opener against Getafe last weekend, Williams is now fit and ready to contribute to Ghana's AFCON campaign.

Black Stars will host Angola at the Baba Yara Stadium on September 5 before travelling to face Niger on September 9.

Otto Addo's side aim to secure one of the top two spots in Group F to qualify for the AFCON tournament, scheduled from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026, in Morocco.
