English-born Callum Hudson-Odoi will be given the green light to represent Ghana in October, Ghanaguardian.com can reveal.

Hudson-Odoi remains eligible to represent Ghana as FIFA rules state that players can still switch international sides if a player has made no more than three appearances for his country, all of those appearances came before the age of 21 and none of them were in a major international tournament.

He would have to wait until November 2022 to represent Ghana as he  will be handed  the clearance by October this year — three years after his last appearance for England — but given that would enable him to play in the World Cup in Qatar, it remains an attractive option.
Hudson-Odoi last played for the Three Lions of England in 2019 and  has not played for England ever since.

The new rules states: "At the time of being fielded for their last match in an official competition in any kind of football for their current association, they had not turned 21 years old.

"Was fielded in no more than three matches at “A” international level in any kind of football for their current association, whether in an official competition or non-official competition.

"At least three years have passed since being fielded for their last match at “A” international level in any kind of football for their current association, whether in an official competition or non-official competition."

In the summer the winger was in Ghana where he held meetings with President Akufo-Addo and presented him with a signed Chelsea jersey, while also meeting the Sports Minister Ussif Mustapha and the GFA boss Kurt Okraku.
