Daniel-Kofi Kyereh back in Ghana's squad after nearly four years and a long injury fight
The Osnabrück midfielder returns for the AFCON qualifiers against Somalia on 12 and 16 November, as the Black Stars look for their first points in Group C.
Accra — Daniel-Kofi Kyereh has been called back into Ghana's squad for the first time in almost four years, for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Somalia this month.
The 30-year-old midfielder last played for the Black Stars in December 2022. In February 2023 he tore an anterior cruciate ligament in training with Freiburg in Germany, an injury that needed surgery and kept him out of competitive football for nearly three years.
Back in form
Kyereh has worked his way back at VfL Osnabrück, which he joined as a free agent after leaving Freiburg. He has scored twice and made one assist in nine appearances this season, giving Ghana another creative option in midfield. The former FC St. Pauli player has 18 caps.
Two games against Somalia
Ghana host Somalia on 12 November, and the teams meet again on 16 November, with both games at the Essipong Stadium. The four-time African champions need a lift: defeats to Ivory Coast and The Gambia have left them bottom of Group C without a point.
