Carlos Queiroz reveals Ghana's Preliminary 28-man World Cup Squad, Rahman, Partey IN, Kudus Out.
Ghana’s World Cup squad is finally here — and fans are buzzing. Manchester City star Antoine Semenyo and midfield powerhouse Thomas Partey headline Carlos Queiroz’s 28-man Black Stars squad ahead of the FIFA World Cup.
However, there’s heartbreak for Ghana as Tottenham playmaker Mohammed Kudus misses out after a serious quadriceps injury setback, while defender Mohammed Salisu is also ruled out with an ACL injury.
The squad welcomes several exciting returns, including Ernest Nuamah, Baba Rahman, Abdul Mumin, and Iñaki Williams, giving fans fresh hope ahead of the tournament. Ajax youngster Paul Reverson also earns his first senior call-up after impressing in the Netherlands.
Led by captain Jordan Ayew, Ghana will kick off their World Cup campaign against Panama before huge clashes with England and Croatia.
The Black Stars have already started training in Cardiff — and anticipation is building fast for Ghana’s biggest football stage yet.
