Coventry City striker, Brandon Thomas-Asante, has been called up to replace Inaki Williams in Ghana’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against the Central African Republic and Comoros.
The 26-year-old forward earned his place after scoring a brace for Coventry City over the weekend, taking his tally to five goals and three assists in nine Championship appearances this season.
Williams sustained an injury during Athletic Bilbao’s La Liga clash with Mallorca on Saturday, ruling the 31-year-old out of this week’s crucial qualifiers.
He had been named in Otto Addo’s 24-man squad for the double-header as Ghana aims to seal qualification for their fifth World Cup appearance.
The Black Stars are currently camping in Casablanca, Morocco, where they face the Central African Republic tomorrow, October 8, 2025.
They will then return home to host Comoros at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, October 12, 2025.
Ghana currently leads Group I with 19 points and need strong results in their final two games to book a place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
