Black Stars head coach Otto Addo is set to announce his squad for the Sudan doubleheader in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

The previous call-up had many regular names missing out through either injury or poor form. Some of those injured have recovered and are expected to make the list which will be revealed today, October 10, 2024.

The Black Stars are winless in their first two games and hope to return to winning ways when they face Sudan on matchday three of the qualifiers.

Ghana will face Sudan in a doubleheader with the first leg slated for October 11 and the return leg on October 14, 2024.

Here are some returnees to expect in the squad


Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer

Ransford-Yeboah has not made the Black Stars squad since the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

The forward has been on sublime form for Hamburger SV in Bundesliga 2 and thus is in line to return to the squad.

The German-born Ghanaian has scored four goals and provided one assist in seven games this season.

Alexander Djiku

Fenerbache defender, Alexander Djiku pulled out of the last Black Stars squad due to a minor injury.

The defender has returned and featured for his club since. Hence, he is expected to make his return to the Black Stars.

Ernest Nuamah

The Olympique Lyon winger has returned from injury after missing out on the last call-up.

He has been featured in three games since his return but has played limited minutes as he currently fighting for a place in the starting eleven.

Nuamah is a key figure for Otto Addo's project hence his return could be a boost for the manager who could name him in the squad to face Sudan.
