Salisu and Osei Owusu join Black Stars camp in Nagoya ahead of Japan friendly

AS Monaco defender Mohammed Salisu and CF Montreal striker Prince Osei Owusu are the latest additions to the Black Stars squad in Nagoya, joining the team on Wednesday evening.

Their arrival brings the squad to 21 players, following the earlier inclusion of Christopher Bonsu Baah, who linked up with the team on Wednesday afternoon. Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Benjamin Asare remains the only player yet to arrive in Japan.

While Bonsu Baah immediately participated in training, Salisu and Osei Owusu are expected to join full squad training on Thursday as preparations intensify for the Kirin Cup clash against Japan.

The match will take place at Toyota Stadium in Aichi on Friday, November 14, 2025, with both sides using it as part of their preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The Black Stars are aiming to integrate the squad fully ahead of the friendly, ensuring tactical cohesion and match readiness for their upcoming international fixtures.
