Germany-based Daniel-Kofi Kyereh has been invited for Ghana’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Somalia this month, ending his four-year absence due to injury.
The 30-year-old attacking midfielder is back in the national team setup after overcoming a lengthy injury lay-off that kept him away from competitive football for almost three years.
Kyereh last played for the Black Stars in December 2022 until he was struck by an anterior cruciate ligament injury while training with German club Freiburg in February 2023.
He underwent surgery and endured a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
The midfielder has since worked his way back to fitness and is gradually rediscovering his best form at German club VfL Osnabruck, whom he joined as a free agent following his departure from Freiburg.
Kyereh has made an encouraging start to the current campaign, registering two goals and one assist in nine appearances for Osnabruck, performances that have helped earn him a recall to the senior national team.
His return will provide Ghana with an additional creative option in the attacking midfield department as the technical team looks to strengthen its squad for the crucial qualifiers.
The former FC St. Pauli midfielder has made 18 appearances for the Black Stars and will be eager to make an immediate impact following his lengthy absence.
Ghana will host Somalia on November 12 before the two sides meet again on November 16, with both fixtures scheduled to take place at the Essipong Stadium.
