In a late shake-up to Ghana’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Cercle Brugge midfielder Lawrence Agyekum has been called up to replace the injured Elisha Owusu.
The Black Stars had initially counted on Owusu, a key figure for French club AJ Auxerre, but an unfortunate injury has sidelined him, paving the way for Agyekum’s international opportunity.
At just 20 years old, Agyekum has been making waves in Belgium, earning recognition for his skill and composure in midfield. His addition injects fresh energy into the Black Stars as they gear up for two crucial matches—first against Chad on March 21, followed by a clash with Madagascar on March 24.
With World Cup qualification at stake, Agyekum now has the chance to showcase his talent on a bigger stage. Fans and pundits alike will be eager to see how the young midfielder adapts to the intensity of international football as Ghana pushes forward in its quest for a place at the 2026 tournament.
