Mohammed Kudus will make his first start for Ghana in 2026 after being named in Kim Lars Bjorkegrens line-up for Thursdays qualifier against Somalia.
The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder has not featured for the Black Stars since January, a lay-off that also saw him miss the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He returns in an attacking midfield role behind captain Jordan Ayew.
Thomas Partey and Caleb Yirenkyi will operate as Ghanas central midfield pairing, while Gideon Mensah, Alidu Seidu, Jonas Adjetey and Mohammed Salisu make up the defence.
Felix Afena-Gyan, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku and Ayew form the attacking trio in a 4-2-3-1 system, with Benjamin Asare selected in goal.
Ghana must beat Somalia when the teams meet at Sekondi Sports Stadium on Thursday, November 12. Kick-off is scheduled for 3pm.
