Mohammed Kudus will start his first match in 2026 for Ghana as Kim Lars Bjorkegren names his starting line-up for the clash against Somalia on Thursday.

He comes in to play behind captain Jordan Ayew, while Thomas Partey is paired with Caleb Yirenkyi in midfield. Gideon Mensah, Alidu Seidu, Jonas Adjetey and Mohammed Salisu form the backline.
In attack are Felix Afena-Gyan, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku and Jordan Ayew in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Benjamin Asare starts in post for the Black Stars.
Ghana play Somalia in a must-win game at the Sekondi Sports Stadium on Thursday, November 12, with kick-off scheduled for 3pm.
