Pepprah, who joined the Ligue 1 side this summer, has been a key figure for them since the start of the season while also going on to score his debut goal for the club.

Owusu, who has enjoyed a great start to the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season, has also been given an invitation.

Ghana will face CAR on matchday nine of the qualifiers in Morocco on October 8 before returning to the Accra Sports Stadium to play Comoros in the final game.

The Black Stars sit three points clear in Group I ahead of the final two games, needing four points to secure a slot at the 2026 World Cup.
