Black Stars coach Otto Addo has hailed the return of defenders Alidu Seidu and winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku ahead of Ghana’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against the Central African Republic in Meknès, Morocco.
Both players rejoin the squad after injury lay-offs, and Addo believes their comeback adds depth and energy to the team.
“I’m very happy for them. You can’t take it for granted to come back as strong as they are,” he said. “We’ve been observing them closely, and they’ve shown great fitness and form in their clubs.”
The German-trained tactician noted that the duo’s return is part of a broader strategy to maintain a core of 30–35 players who can be rotated based on form and fitness.
“We are always watching, observing. Sometimes injury comes along, but I’m sure they will fulfil our expectations,” Addo explained.
Their inclusion is expected to bolster Ghana’s chances as the Black Stars aim to consolidate their top spot in Group I. The match in Morocco will be followed by the final group clash against Comoros on October 12.
