Real Oviedo midfielder Kwasi Sibo has received a late call-up to the Black Stars squad ahead of Ghana’s crucial World Cup qualifying clash with Mali on September 8.
His inclusion comes as head coach Otto Addo seeks to strengthen his midfield options following Ghana’s disappointing 1-1 draw with Chad on September 4 at the Stade Olympique Maréchal Idriss Déby Itno.
The 27-year-old was instrumental in Real Oviedo’s promotion to La Liga last season, showcasing consistency, energy, and ball-winning ability that proved vital to their return to Spain’s top flight.
Sibo has continued his fine form this season, featuring in all three of Oviedo’s 2025/26 La Liga fixtures, including an assured performance against giants Real Madrid.
His growing reputation in Europe and versatility in midfield have now earned him a return to the national setup.
For Sibo, the call-up represents a chance to re-establish himself in Otto Addo’s plans. With Ghana pushing to secure qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, his tactical discipline and tenacity could prove crucial against Mali.
The Black Stars will be eager to bounce back from the Chad setback, and Sibo’s arrival provides fresh competition and depth in midfield ahead of Monday’s showdown at the Accra Sports Stadium.
