Ghanaian sensation Ernest Nuamah is set to make a much-anticipated return to the Black Stars squad for the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers double-header against Sudan. The squad, which will be announced by Head Coach Otto Addo on October 4, 2024, is expected to feature the young winger, marking his return after a brief absence from the national team setup.
Nuamah, who currently plays for French Ligue 1 side Olympique Lyonnais, has been in scintillating form at the club level, making a compelling case for his inclusion in the squad. His pace, dribbling ability, and knack for scoring crucial goals have impressed both fans and football pundits, cementing his reputation as one of Ghana’s brightest young talents.
The Black Stars will face Sudan in two crucial matches, with qualification for the 2025 AFCON tournament on the line. Ghana currently sits in a competitive group and needs positive results from these fixtures to secure their spot in the continental showpiece. Nuamah’s return will add more firepower to the squad, with fans hopeful that his form at the club level will translate to success on the international stage.
The 21-year-old winger has enjoyed a meteoric rise in recent years, having been a standout performer for the Ghana U-23 side before making the step up to the senior team. His performances for the Black Stars in previous outings have shown glimpses of his potential, and his return is seen as a major boost to the team’s chances of securing AFCON qualification.
Nuamah’s inclusion in the squad is also seen as part of Coach Otto Addo’s broader strategy to build a dynamic and youthful squad capable of competing at the highest level. The coach, who will name his squad tomorrow, is expected to blend a mix of experienced players with promising young stars like Nuamah, as Ghana aims to return to the top of African football.
As fans await the official squad announcement, all eyes will be on Nuamah and the rest of the team as they prepare for the crucial double-header against Sudan. With the pressure mounting and the stakes high, the Black Stars will be counting on Nuamah’s creativity and goal-scoring prowess to help them secure a spot in the 2025 AFCON tournament.
