FC Lorient defender Nathaniel Adjei has earned a recall to the Ghana Black Stars squad ahead of their upcoming international friendly against Mexico.
Adjei had his maiden call up during Ghana’s 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Niger but was forced off after just 40 minutes due to an ankle injury.
However, his consistent performances at the heart of Lorient’s defense have convinced the technical team to offer him another opportunity on the international stage as preparations intensify for the forthcoming FIFA World Cup.
The young centre-back’s return is seen as a timely boost for the four-time African champions, who are continuing their rebuild with a blend of emerging talents and experienced players.
The 22-year-old will be eager to make up for lost time and finally leave his mark in national colours after the disappointment of his first call-up.
He now has a fresh chance to seize the moment and re-establish himself in the squad as the Black Stars gear up for future competitions.
The technical handlers of the Ghana national team have expressed confidence in his readiness, pointing to his resilience and strong club form as key reasons behind his inclusion.
