Kudus, Mohammed Salisu join Black Stars camp

Tottenham Hotspur forward Mohammed Kudus and AS Monaco defender Mohammed Salisu have arrived at the Black Stars camp ahead of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

Kudus arrived in a black van wearing a black top, joggers and a cap. He appeared to be in good spirits, beaming with smiles as he alighted from the vehicle to join his teammates.

Salisu, on the other hand, wore a brown top, black jeans and a cap, maintaining a calm expression as he made his way into the team’s camp.

The arrival of the two key players represents a major boost for the country, particularly as Kudus returns to the squad after a lengthy injury layoff that had previously kept him out of action.

Kudus’ performances for the English side and Salisu’s experience in defence will be crucial to the team’s ambition of securing victories in both legs against Somalia and reviving their hopes of AFCON qualification.

The absence of key players in the previous round of matches had a significant impact on the team, as Ghana suffered defeats to The Gambia and Côte d’Ivoire, putting their qualification hopes at risk.

However, the return of these key players has raised expectations and given fans renewed hope as the Black Stars prepare to face Somalia at the Essipong Stadium on November 12 before travelling for the return leg on November 16, 2026.
