German-based Ghana midfielder Daniel Kofi Kyereh has expressed his excitement at returning to the Black Stars after four years away from the national team, describing the honour of representing Ghana as a feeling that has never changed.
The midfielder shared an emotional message on social media following his inclusion in interim coach Kim Lars Björkegren’s 26-man squad for Ghana’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Somalia.
“Some dreams never fade. Some feelings never change. Four years later, the honour of representing Ghana still means everything to me,” Kyereh wrote.
His return marks a significant moment in a career disrupted by a lengthy injury spell that kept him away from international football since December 2022.
Kyereh last featured for the Black Stars during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, where he was part of Ghana’s squad for the tournament. His absence from the national team since then has been largely due to fitness setbacks that interrupted his progress at club level.
The 30-year-old midfielder, who now plays for German side VfL Osnabrück, brings creativity, experience and versatility to Björkegren’s squad as Ghana prepare for the two matches against Somalia.
Kyereh’s inclusion is one of several notable returns in the squad, alongside captain Jordan Ayew, Mohammed Kudus, Thomas Partey, Mohammed Salisu and Alidu Seidu.
Ghana will host Somalia at the Sekondi Sports Stadium on Thursday, November 12.
The return fixture will be played on Monday, November 16, 2026.
