Greece-based defender Baba Rahman has been left out of the Black Stars for next week’s 2026 World Cup qualifying games against Madagascar and Comoros.

The former Premier League manager Chris Hughton has released a 25-man squad for the opening two World Cup qualifying games.

Despite being on top form for PAOK, the enterprising left-back has been excluded for the upcoming games, with Gideon Mensah and Medeama’s Fatawu Hamidu being the preferred choice.

Fatawu Hamidu and his Medeama teammate Jonathan Sowah are the only home-based players to have made the lists for the back to back games this month.

It’s noteworthy captain Andre Ayew has made a return to the squad despite being unattached. Meanwhile, Jojo Wollacot, Majeed Ashimeru, Osman Bukari and Kamaldeen Sulemana who have been out of the national team due to injuries are back to the team.

Arsenal star Thomas Partey will miss the qualifiers due to an injury setback.

Below is the 25-man squad:
