Ghana coach Otto Addo has opted to start Mohammed Kudus and captain André Ayew in the Black Stars’ crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Chad, leaving Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey on the bench.
The decision comes as Addo looks to balance experience and attacking creativity in N’Djamena, with Kudus expected to provide spark in midfield while Ayew offers leadership in the final third.
Partey, who has only recently returned from injury, is likely to feature later in the game as Ghana pushes for maximum points.
The Black Stars are targeting back-to-back wins in the qualifiers after their victory over Mali, and Addo’s lineup reflects an aggressive approach to breaking down Chad’s defence.
Fans will be eager to see how the combination of Kudus and Ayew influences Ghana’s attack as they aim to strengthen their qualification chances.
