Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz has added nine players to the squad following medical concerns involving some members of the original team ahead of Ghana’s upcoming fixtures.

The additions come ahead of Ghana’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Côte d’Ivoire and The Gambia, as well as an international friendly against Morocco.

The new call-ups include defenders Jonas Adjetey of VfL Wolfsburg, Alidu Seidu of OGC Nice, Ebenezer Annan of Rapid Bucharest and Rockson Yeboah of Osasuna.

Slovan Bratislava midfielder Rahim Ibrahim has also been added to the squad, alongside forwards Brandon Thomas-Asante of Coventry City, Mohammed Fuseini of Derby County, Benjamin Tetteh of Kalba and Felix Afena-Gyan of Igdir FK.

The Black Stars opened camp in Accra on Monday, September 21, as preparations got underway for the three fixtures.

Ghana will face Côte d’Ivoire in Bouaké on September 24, before hosting The Gambia in Accra on September 29. The team will then travel to Morocco for the international friendly on October 4.
