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 propelled 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 reward for both his recent form and his growing maturity on the big occasions.

Fuseini already has two full caps for the Black Stars, but this call-up arrives at a different moment in his career. His dramatic injury-time equaliser against Burnley, a ruthless finish that halted a run of three straight defeats, felt like a statement. Derby had been sliding, the pressure building, the clock almost gone. Then Fuseini struck, salvaging a deserved point and changing the mood heading into the three-week break.

Now he carries that momentum onto the international stage.

Big tests for the Black Stars

Ghana face a demanding schedule across the window, with three fixtures packed into a tight spell.

• Two of them are high-stakes Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers: a heavyweight clash with Ivory Coast on Thursday 24th September (8pm BST), followed by a potentially awkward test against Gambia on Tuesday 29th September (5pm BST).
• Between those two games, squad depth and sharpness will matter; players in Fuseini’s position know that one moment can tilt a qualifying campaign.
• The window closes with a friendly against Morocco on Sunday 4th October, a chance for the coaching staff to experiment, refine combinations and assess which players can carry their club form onto a higher stage.

For Fuseini, it’s an opening. A chance to turn late drama at Turf Moor into something more lasting in a Ghana shirt.
