Coach Chris Hughton has announced a formidable squad of twenty-three players for Ghana’s upcoming international friendly matches against Mexico and the United States of America. This selection includes some exciting returns and notable inclusions.
One of the standout returns to the squad is Brighton and Hove Albion’s dynamic defender, Tariq Lamptey. After enduring a challenging season last year, plagued by injuries that sidelined him for nearly six months, Lamptey has made a remarkable comeback. His impressive start to the current season in England has caught the eye of the national team selectors.
Another crucial inclusion is the Deputy Captain, Thomas Teye Partey. Partey was unavailable for the previous qualifier against Central African Republic due to injury, but he’s now set to make his return to bolster the midfield.
Ghana’s journey in this international break will begin with a clash against Mexico at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte on Saturday, October 14. Following that, they will face the United States of America on Tuesday, October 17, 2023, in Nashville, Tennessee.
These friendly matches serve as a vital part of Ghana’s preparations for the FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifiers scheduled for November. Additionally, the team is gearing up for the Africa Cup of Nations in Cote D’Ivoire.
Under Coach Chris Hughton’s guidance, the Black Stars aim to fine-tune their strategies and test their mettle against strong opponents, setting their sights on successful campaigns in both the upcoming World Cup qualifiers and the Africa Cup of Nations.
