Jordan Ayew, along with several key players, has arrived in Ghana, increasing the number of squad members in camp to 22 as preparations intensify for the final two matches of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Notably, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku and Alidu Seidu joined the camp on Tuesday, following an initial training session on Monday that featured only eight players.

Mohammed Kudus and Gideon Mensah were among the prominent figures participating in the first session, signaling a determined effort to turn around the team's fortunes.

The Black Stars will conduct their second training session on Tuesday evening at the Accra Sports Stadium before departing for Luanda on Wednesday, where they are set to face Angola.

Ghana is scheduled to play Angola on Friday, November 15, and will conclude their qualification campaign at home against Niger on Monday, November 18, at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Sitting third in Group F with only two points from four matches, the Black Stars' path to qualification is precarious.

To progress, Ghana must win their remaining fixtures and rely on Sudan, currently leading with seven points, to lose both of their final matches.

The full list of players in camp includes:

- Lawrence Ati-Zigi
- Abdul Manaf
- Joseph Wollacott
- Terry Yegbe
- Mohammed Kudus
- Gideon Mensah
- Elisha Owusu
- Jordan Ayew
- Osman Bukari
- Ransford Yeboah Koningsdorffer
- Kingsley Schindler
- Ibrahim Sulemana
- Michael Baidoo
- Isaac Afful
- Razak Simpson
- Emmanuel Antwi
- Nathaniel Adjei
- Abdul Fatawu Issahaku
- Alidu Seidu
- Ernest Nuamah
- Forson Amankwah
- Francis Abu

Ebenezer Annan is expected to join the camp later today as the team continues its preparations.
