Official! Carlos Queiroz calls up Sporting player who clashed with Amorim | OneFootball

Ghana coach Carlos Queiroz has finalized the squad for the 2026 World Cup with a few forced changes while keeping several key names, including Abdul Fatawu, the former Sporting player who now plays for Leicester.

The squad underwent a last-minute reshuffle due to Alexander Djiku's injury, and he was ultimately replaced by Derrick Luckassen. Speaking about this change, the coach explained the decision in detail: "Djiku got injured during the cup final. It was a very difficult decision (...). The replacement was based on observation. We do not work with just 11 or 22 players".

In the final list, the coach, who also had a spell at the green-and-white club, also reduced the group of goalkeepers from five to three, keeping Benjamin Asare, Lawrence Ati-Zigi and Joseph Anang as the main options for the tournament.

Left out were some big names, such as Mohammed Kudus and Mohammed Salisu, both injured, as well as André Ayew. Ghana will therefore compete in Group L of the international tournament against Panama, England and Croatia.
