Inaki Williams has been replaced by Brandon Thomas-Asante of Coventry City for Black Stars’ 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matchups against Comoros and the Central African Republic.
In his nine League games in the English Championship, the 26-year-old has scored five goals and provided three assists. He replaced Inaki Williams, who sustained an injury during Athletic Bilbao’s La Liga match against Mallorca on Saturday, preventing him from participating in this week’s qualifiers.
Williams, 31, was included in Otto Addo’s 24-man roster for the qualifying matches against Comoros and the Central African Republic. In preparation for their match against the Central African Republic on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, the Black Stars are presently in Casablanca, Morocco.
Ghana will round up the qualifiers against Comoros at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, October 12, 2025.
The Black Stars are chasing a fifth World Cup appearance as they currently sit at the top of Group I with 19 points and two matches to go in the qualifiers.
