Hamburger SV forward Ransford Yeboah Königsdorffer could make his second Black Stars start in the final 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Niger today, November 18, 2025.

Otto Addo is expected to name Abu Francis and Forson Amankwah as his new midfield pivots for the game, replacing Ibrahim Sulemana and Elisha Owusu.
In attack, Ernest Nuamah could start on the right, while Osman Bukari takes the left flank, with Mohammed Kudus playing behind the striker.
Ransford Yeboah Königsdörffer might be tasked with leading the line in the absence of Jordan Ayew, who will miss the game due to injury.
