In current Ghana squad

Jonas Adjetey

Club: Wolfsburg
Position:
Centre-back
Age:
22

Adjetey has only been in Germany for a few months, having joined Wolfsburg in February from Swiss giants Basel.

The defender has started just one game for the Wolves so far, although he has been a regular for Ghana of late, starting each of their last three matches against Comoros, Japan and South Korea.

Derrick Köhn

Club: Union Berlin
Position:
Left-back
Age:
27
Club apppearances this season: 
25

Hamburg-born Köhn has impressed at Union this season, becoming a regular feature down the left flank under Steffen Baumgart.

His club form caught the attention of Ghana head coach Otto Addo, who handed Köhn his international debut in a 2-0 defeat against Japan last November. 

Köhn scored his first goal of the season against former club Werder Bremen in March. - IMAGO/O.Behrendt

Patric Pfeiffer

Club: Darmstadt
Position:
Centre-back
Age:
26

Having started all but one of Darmstadt's Bundesliga 2 games this season, Pfeiffer has been integral to the Lilies' promotion push.

The defender could be in line to make his international debut against Germany, after earning his first Ghana call-up this month. 

Patric Pfeiffer could be playing Bundesliga football with Darmstadt next season. - XX / XX

Not in current Ghana squad

Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer

Club: Hamburg 
Position:
Forward
Age:
24

Königsdörffer is arguably the most well-known of Ghana's Bundesliga contingent. 

The versatile forward has scored four goals in 27 Bundesliga appearances so far this season, after helping Hamburg seal promotion last year. 

Königsdörffer also has six Ghana caps to his name, but hasn't been called up for international duty since late 2024.

Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer will be hoping a strong end to the season can help him return to the Ghana squad for the FIFA World Cup. - Alex Bierens de Haan

Daniel-Kofi Kyereh

Club: Freiburg
Position:
Attacking midfielder
Age:
30

The Feeiburg midfielder has been desperately unlucky since playing at the FIFA 2022 World Cup.

Persistent injury issues have kept him out of action in the Bundesliga for the past two seasons, although he does at least appear to be nearing a return to action soon. 

Freiburg's Daniel-Kofi Kyereh has been sidelined since 2023. - IMAGO/Darius Simka/IMAGO/regios24

Stephan Ambrosius

Club: Karlsruhe
Position:
Centre-back
Age:
27

Like Adjetey, Ambrosius also moved to Germany this winter, joining Karlsruhe from Swiss outfit St. Gallen. The defender has four Ghana caps to his name, although he hasn't featured for the side since May 2025. 

Stephan Ambrosius has made eight appearances in Bundesliga 2 this year. - IMAGO/Benedict Christ

Christopher Antwi-Adjei

Club: Schalke
Position:
Winger
Age:
32

The veteran winger is currently out of action due to Achilles tendon issues. Schalke head coach Miron Muslić will be hoping to have Antwi-Adjei back for the run-in as his side targets a return to the Bundesliga. 

Schalke's Christopher Antwi-Adjei was on two goal involvements in 12 appearances before injury. - DFL/GettyImages/Christian Kaspar-Bartke
