Jordan Ayew benched as Iñaki starts against Niger
In comes Athletic Club’s striker Iñaki Williams, who was called up into the squad after injury kept him out the last time.
Black Stars striker Jordan Ayew is starting the second 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Niger from the bench.
Ayew has been in the starting line-up of most of Ghana’s recent games but Coach Otto Addo has decided to consign him to the bench in the game at the Stade Municipal de Berkane.
