Carlos Quieroz makes four changes to Black Stars lineup for Colombia 2026 World Cup clash

Ghana have recalled goalkeeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi, defender Jerome Opoku, forward Inaki Williams and midfielder Caleb Yirenkyi to their starting line-up for their World Cup Round of 32 match against Colombia.

Head coach Carlos Queiroz has made four changes to the side for the knockout fixture, as the Black Stars look to secure a place in the last 16.

Ati-Zigi returns in goal, while Opoku comes into defence. Williams is restored to the attack, with Yirenkyi also handed a starting role in midfield.

The changes suggest Queiroz is seeking greater experience and energy across the team for what is expected to be a demanding contest against the South Americans.

Ghana face Colombia knowing that victory would send them through to the next round, where Switzerland await.
