Ghana forward Mohamed Kudus will miss the forthcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup due to injury.
The Tottenham Hotspur star has been left out of Ghana’s preliminary 28-man squad named by coach Carlos Queiroz on Tuesday.
Kudus, who has represented Ghana since 2019, has scored 13 goals in 46 international appearances.
He suffered a quad injury in January during Spurs’ Premier League clash against Sunderland and has not returned to action since.
Coach Queiroz will instead rely on Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo and Athletic Club striker Inaki Williams, while PAOK defender Abdul Rahman Baba has earned a recall for the first time since 2023.
Ghana will hold a training camp before playing an international friendly against Wales in Cardiff.
The Black Stars will open their Group L campaign against Panama before facing England and Croatia
