Mo Fuseini Earns Ghana Call-Up After Late Heroics
Mo Fuseini’s late heroics at Turf Moor have earned him more than just a point in the league – they’ve helped propel him back onto the international stage.
The 24-year-old forward, on loan at Derby County from Union St Gilloise, has been called into Ghana’s squad for the upcoming September/October international window. Confirmation of his inclusion arrived over the weekend, a timely reward after his dramatic injury-time equaliser against Burnley halted a run of three straight defeats for the Rams.
That goal felt big on the day. It may prove even bigger now.
Fuseini already has two senior caps for the Black Stars, but this call-up hands him a genuine chance to re-establish himself in a squad gearing up for a crucial stretch of fixtures. Ghana face three games across the break, two of them with Africa Cup of Nations qualification on the line.
Upcoming Fixtures
- First comes a heavyweight clash with Ivory Coast on Thursday 24th September (8pm BST), a fixture that rarely needs extra hype.
- Then Gambia await on Tuesday 29th September (5pm BST), another qualifier that will shape the group’s complexion.
- Between those competitive tests, Ghana will also take on Morocco in a friendly on Sunday 4th October, a useful barometer against one of the continent’s strongest sides.
For Fuseini, it’s a window loaded with opportunity: three matches, three different types of challenge, and a platform to turn late drama in club colours into lasting impact in national ones.
