Daniel-Kofi Kyereh has earned a long-awaited return to the Black Stars squad after spending more than three years away from the national team due to a career-threatening injury.
The attacking midfielder’s return marks an important moment in his career after enduring a difficult period on the sidelines following a serious anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury suffered in February 2023.
Kyereh sustained the injury while playing for German Bundesliga side SC Freiburg, forcing him to undergo surgery and begin a lengthy rehabilitation process that kept him out of competitive football for an extended period.
His absence was a significant setback for both the player and the Black Stars, having previously established himself as an exciting attacking option with his creativity, movement, technical ability and eye for goal.
The 30-year-old has since worked tirelessly to regain his fitness and return to competitive action. His comeback included appearances for SC Freiburg II before securing a move to German third-tier side VfL Osnabrück in August 2026.
Kyereh’s return provides another attacking option for Ghana as the technical team continues to assess available players ahead of upcoming international assignments.
His experience, versatility and ability to operate behind the striker could offer the Black Stars additional creativity and attacking depth.
For Kyereh, the recall represents a major step in his journey back to international football after a prolonged battle with injury, with the midfielder now hoping to make the most of his opportunity and re-establish himself in Ghana’s national team.
