Daniel-Kofi Kyereh has been recalled to the Ghana squad for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Somalia, ending a four-year absence from the Black Stars.
The Germany-based attacking midfielder, 30, returns to the national team after overcoming an injury lay-off that kept him away from competitive football for almost three years.
Kyereh last represented Ghana in December 2022. Two months later, in February 2023, he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during training with German club Freiburg.
The former FC St. Pauli player required surgery and spent an extended period on the sidelines before beginning his recovery.
He has since returned to fitness and is gradually rebuilding his form with VfL Osnabruck, whom he joined as a free agent after leaving Freiburg.
Kyereh has made a positive start to the current campaign, scoring two goals and providing one assist in nine appearances for Osnabruck. Those performances have earned him a return to the senior national team.
His inclusion gives Ghana another creative option in attacking midfield as the technical team prepares for the important qualifying fixtures.
Kyereh has won 18 caps for the Black Stars and will be hoping to make an immediate contribution after his lengthy absence from international football.
Ghana will host Somalia on November 12, with the return fixture taking place on November 16. Both matches are scheduled to be played at the Essipong Stadium.
The four-time African champions will be seeking maximum points from the two fixtures as they attempt to revive their qualifying campaign and improve their prospects of reaching the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
