Kwabena Owusu may be off the radar when it comes to recent Black Stars call-ups, but the man certainly hasn’t lost his spark, on or off the pitch.

On Monday, May 19, the 27-year-old forward joined a lively group of footballers, both past and present, for a spirited kickabout at the well-known La Bawaleshie Park in Accra.

Though it was his first time featuring at the iconic venue, which has become a Monday late afternoon ritual for several of Ghana's top ballers, Owusu slotted in like a regular.

Kwabena Owusu's performance this season

His sharpness at the Bawaleshie park wasn’t just a one-off. Stats from Transfermarkt back up his consistency this season.

Yet, despite this rich vein of form, his name hasn't surfaced in Otto Addo’s plans for the senior national team.

The last time he featured for the Black Stars was back in 2019, and since then, he’s been on the fringes. His international record stands at three caps.
