His rich vein of form has been instrumental in the Black Stars' resurgence, offering both leadership and a consistent attacking threat.

With Chad now in the rearview, Ghana’s attention turns to Madagascar.

According to Ghanafa.org, the team will travel to Morocco to face the Barea, who also impressed with a commanding victory over the Central African Republic.

A win in that fixture will solidify the Black Stars’ position at the top of Group I, bringing them closer to securing a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

For context, Ghana's head coach, Otto Addo, is unbeaten in World Cup qualifiers, recording three wins and two draws.
