Felix Afena-Gyan, Abdul Samed Salis, and Kwame Opoku are three of the six players who have been called up to the Black Stars squad for the Unity Cup in London. This marks a return to the national team for Afena-Gyan, who last played for Ghana in 2022. Salis Samed is also back in the squad after recovering from an injury that kept him out for most of the season. Opoku, who has been in fine form for Asante Kotoko with 10 goals in 18 matches since returning from USM Alger, earns a recall after his last appearance for Ghana in a 2021 World Cup qualifier against South Africa.
Stephan Ambrosius, who plays for Swiss side St. Gallen, is another player rejoining the squad. He made his debut for Ghana in a friendly against Liberia in September 2023. The Black Stars will face Nigeria at the GTech Community Stadium in West London in the semi-final of the Unity Cup on Wednesday, May 28. The winner of this match will advance to the final to play either Jamaica or Trinidad and Tobago.
It is an exciting time for these players to be back in the national team setup, and they will be looking to make an impact in the Unity Cup. The competition will provide a good opportunity for them to showcase their skills and stake a claim for a regular spot in the Black Stars squad. The unity Cup is a prestigious tournament and winning it would be a great achievement for Ghana. Fans will be eagerly anticipating the performances of these returning players as they aim to help the team lift the trophy.
