Mo Fuseini's Heroics Earn Ghana Call-Up

Mo Fuseini’s late heroics have earned him more than just a vital point – they’ve helped fire him back into the Ghana squad.

The 24-year-old forward, on loan at Derby County from Union St Gilloise, has been named in the Black Stars group for the September/October international window after receiving official confirmation of his call-up over the weekend. He already owns two senior caps. Now he has the chance to grow that tally.

Fuseini heads into camp on the back of a dramatic moment at Turf Moor. Deep into stoppage time against Burnley, with Derby staring at a fourth straight defeat, he crashed in an injury-time equaliser that snapped a run of three losses and secured a deserved point on the road. The goal didn’t just change the mood around Derby’s three-week break. It sharpened the spotlight on his international prospects.

Upcoming Matches

Ghana have a busy schedule lined up. The Black Stars will play three times during the window, with two of those matches carrying real weight in their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.

• First comes a heavyweight tie against Ivory Coast on Thursday 24th September, an 8pm kick-off (BST).
• Then Gambia await on Tuesday 29th September at 5pm, again in AFCON qualifying.
• Between those competitive fixtures sits a testing friendly against Morocco on Sunday 4th October.

For Fuseini, it’s a stretch that offers exactly what every international hopeful wants: minutes, pressure, and the chance to turn club form into something bigger in Ghanaian colours.
