Mohamed Diomande, an Ivorian by birth, might not play for Ghana during the current international break.

Diomande, who has been selected in Ghana’s team, is ‘unlikely’ to honor the call-up since he is rushing to finish the process of changing his nationality, according to a report filed by 3Sports.

Among the unexpected names on Otto Addo’s 26-man roster for the announcement on Friday, March 15, 2024, was Diomande.

He is entitled to change his nationality even though he was born in Ivory Coast but spent a significant portion of his early years in Ghana while playing for Right To Dream.

The alumnus of the Right to Dream Academy is presently a player for Rangers in Scotland, having finished a loan that included a buyout clause that expired in January 2024.

In eight appearances in all competitions, the FC Nordsjaelland loanee has netted two goals and given up one assist for Rangers.

He is an offensive midfielder with left foot who can also play as a base or defensive midfielder. He may wear the number 10 or 8 jersey.

In the meanwhile, the Black Stars are anticipated to set up camp in Morocco in the days leading up to their matches against Uganda and Nigeria.
