AFCON 2025Q: Manaf Nurudeen and Nathaniel Adjei return Black Stars for Angola, Niger games

Abdul Manaf Nurudeen and Nathaniel Adjei are the two returnees to the Black Stars team ahead of their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Angola and Niger.

The two players made Otto Addo's 25-man squad for the upcoming games as the Black Stars seek to give it a late fight for an AFCON spot.

Adjei, 22, is making a return to the national team after he was named in the squad during the friendly games against Nigeria and Uganda in March.

It's the second time the Loreint defender has received a call-up to the national team under the former Borussia Dortmund coach.

For Manaf, he makes a return to the national team since his last appearance in October 2023.

The 25-year-old featured in the Black Stars' friendly game against the USA which Ghana lost 4-0.

He replaces Asante Kotoko goalkeeper Frederick Asare who has been in and around the national team since Addo's reappointment as head coach.

The Black Stars face Angola on November 15 before hosting Niger at the Accra Sports Stadium three days later.
