@bessahghana: Tottenham Hotspur star Mohammed Kudus has made a sensational return to the Ghana Black Stars as the team prepares to face Somalia in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Kudus is among the notable returnees named by interim coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren in his 26-man squad for the crucial double-header against Somalia. The Black Stars captain Jordan Ayew also returns after missing last month's qualifiers due to a groin injury, while Kudus is back after an injury kept him out of Ghana's 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign. According to the Ghana Football Association, Kudus has not featured for the national team at all in 2026 and his return comes at a critical time for Ghana who sit bottom of their group after defeats to Cote d'Ivoire and The Gambia. The Black Stars opened camp in Accra on Sunday, November 8, as preparations began for the two encounters. Ghana will host Somalia in the first match at the Sekondi Sports Stadium on Thursday, November 12, with the return fixture also scheduled at the same venue on Monday, November 16. The team is under pressure to revive its qualifying campaign and will be banking on the experience of Kudus and Ayew to lift them off the bottom of Group C.
