Inaki Williams is gearing up to make his return to the Black Stars after missing the last international window due to injury.
The Athletic Bilbao forward is expected to be named in Ghana’s squad for the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Angola and Niger in September.
Williams was sidelined for Ghana’s previous two matches after undergoing surgery at the end of last season, which also kept him out of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Despite his absence, the Black Stars secured important back-to-back wins against Mali and Central African Republic, keeping their hopes alive for AFCON qualification.
Now fully recovered, Williams made his return to action in Athletic Bilbao’s La Liga opener against Getafe last weekend. His fitness is a big boost for Ghana as they prepare for these crucial matches in their AFCON campaign.
The Black Stars will host Angola at the Baba Yara Stadium on September 5, before traveling to face Niger on September 9.
Otto Addo’s side is focused on securing one of the top two spots in Group F to ensure their place in the AFCON tournament, which will be held from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026, in Morocco.
Williams’ return comes at a vital time for Ghana, as his experience and skill will be key in their quest to qualify for the prestigious tournament.
Fans are eagerly awaiting his contribution as the Black Stars aim to continue their winning momentum.
