Ghana have invited Brandon Thomas-Asante into their squad for the AFCON 2027 qualifiers, according to GhanaSoccernet. The call-up comes after Prince Adu Kwabena picked up an injury, with the report stating Thomas-Asante has been brought in as his replacement.
The same outlet reported earlier that Adu Kwabena was a doubt for Ghana's fixtures against Ivory Coast and Gambia after he suffered a head injury. GhanaWeb also reported a list of players added to the Black Stars squad following withdrawals, naming Thomas-Asante and Afena-Gyan among them.
The picture around Adu Kwabena's condition has not been entirely one-sided. Asaase Radio reported that Viktoria Plzen coach Radoslav Kovac moved to ease concerns over the injury. Yen News, meanwhile, framed a late Black Stars call-up for a Belgium-based striker as a possible answer to the absence of Antoine Semenyo.
Taken together, the reports point to a Ghana squad in flux ahead of the qualifiers, with several players drafted in to cover for those who have withdrawn or are carrying injuries. Thomas-Asante's invitation is the clearest confirmed addition in the material available, with GhanaSoccernet attributing the move directly to Adu Kwabena's injury.
What to watch next: whether Adu Kwabena is cleared to feature against Ivory Coast and Gambia, and how Ghana's revised squad takes shape before those qualifiers.
