Black Stars head coach, Otto Addo has admitted fixing players out of position is always challenging but added he always does what he thinks will help the team.

He stated these in an interview with the press after announcing his squad for the double header against Sudan in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. 

"It is always a challenge with what positions players play at their club level and with the national teams, it is always a challenge," he told reporters during the announcement of his squad in Accra.

"You mentioned those two players, maybe Jordan in addition. You know it's not about the player, it is about the team and we have to see what is best for the team. If all who are playing as wingers, we still need someone who play the number 9.

"Whatever I do, I will do something that maybe is not equivalent to the position at their team. For me, the most important thing is the team. And for us as the coaching staff have to think about the best possible solution where we think each of our players can harm our opponents," he added.

The squad didn't contain any much of surprises as majority of the expected players were invited with the return Alexander Djiku, Ernest Nuamah and Ibrahim Sulemana. 

Ghana is set to face Sudan at the Accra Sports Stadium on Thursday, October 10, before traveling to Libya for the second leg at the Martyrs of Benina Stadium in Benina on Tuesday, October 15, 2024.

Otto Addo's side aim to secure one of the top two spots in Group F to qualify for the AFCON tournament, scheduled from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026 in Morocco.
