The Black Stars will take on Ethiopia in Cape Coast on Friday before travelling three days later to play South Africa in Johannesburg on 6 September. Kudus was named in the Black Stars squad for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers against Ethiopia and South Africa despite being injured as they were hoping he would be fit before the two matches. Kudus was ruled out of Ajax's 4-0 heavy defeat to PSV in the Johann Cryuff Shield Cup two weeks ago due to the injury. Kudus has been one of Ghana's key players during the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. He scored that decisive goal against South Africa in Johannesburg that qualified the Black Stars to the AFCON tournament to be held next year in Cameroon.
