Ghana head coach Otto Addo on Tuesday unveiled his final 24-man squad for next month’s FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Mali, Afrosport reports.
The squad features a blend of experience and youth, with Addo including established names such as Thomas Partey, Jordan Ayew, Mohammed Kudus, Antoine Semenyo, and Inaki Williams.
Goalkeeper Lawrence Ati Zigi and Auxerre left-back Gideon Mensah also made the cut alongside Atalanta forward Kamaldeen Sulemana, Christopher Bonsu Baah, and Caleb Yirenkyi — one of the standout performers at the Unity Cup in London earlier this year.
England-based defender Tariq Lamptey and Auxerre midfielder Elisha Owusu both return to the fold, while Union Berlin’s Derrick Arthur Kohn earns his maiden call-up.
