Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has left out Thomas Partey from his 25-man squad for the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Niger and Angola.
The squad announcement was made on Thursday afternoon at the Ghana Football Association (GFA) conference room.

Notable absences include Monaco defender Mohammed Salisu, who sustained a hamstring injury during last month’s 2-0 loss to Sudan. However, some players are making their return.

Additionally, Lorient defender Nathaniel Adjei has rejoined the team following his recovery from a previous injury that kept him out of action.
