For this match, the Portuguese coach welcomes back the highly anticipated Mohammed Kudus and Alexander Djiku, who missed the last World Cup. While the presence of captain Jordan Ayew is confirmed alongside young talents like Ernest Nuamah and Antoine Semenyo, Ghana will be without Thomas Partey, who has to withdraw due to injury.  

Finally, Carlos Queiroz brings a fresh perspective to his team by calling up Ronald Donkor and Jan Gyamerah for the first time, rewarded for their impressive club performances. A balanced and ambitious squad, ready to secure maximum points in these crucial matches.
