Ghana have been handed a major boost ahead of their 2022 World Cup play-off double header against Nigeria this month.

Mohammed Kudus return from his long injury layoff means the Black Stars have their most creative player for the crucial encounter.

The 21 year old’s absence was sorely felt at the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon where Ghana crashed out at the Group Stages.

Since his return, the former Nordsjaelland midfielder has come on as a substitute on four occasions for the Ajax first team in the past month.

Despite his limited playing time, Kudus has been very impressive for the Dutch giants.

He is expected to play a key role for Ghana against the eternal rivals this month.

The Black Stars will host the Super Eagles at the 20,000–capacity Cape Coast Sports Stadium on March 25, with the reverse leg set for Abuja four days later.

The winner of the tie will represent the continent at the World football showpiece which is scheduled to take place from November 21 to December 18, 2022 in Qatar.
