2026 WC: Queiroz makes four changes as Ghana name strong XI for Colombia clash
Carlos Queiroz has made four changes to Ghana's starting line-up for the FIFA World Cup Round of 32 clash against Colombia at the Kansas City Stadium on Friday night. Lawrence Ati-Zigi returns in goal after recovering from an injury sustained during Ghana's opening Group L match against Panama. Jerome Opoku replaces Jonas Adjetey in defence, partnering with Derrick Luckassen. Caleb Yirenkyi also returns to the starting XI, taking the place of Elisha Owusu in midfield. Inaki Williams is restored to the attack in place of Kamaldeen Sulemana.
Ati-Zigi missed subsequent games against England and Croatia, with Benjamin Asare deputising. Gideon Mensah and Marvin Senaya retain their places at left and right back, respectively. Yirenkyi will line up alongside Thomas Partey and Kwasi Sibo in a three-man midfield. Williams will join captain Jordan Ayew and Antoine Semenyo in Ghana's front three. The encounter kicks off at 8:30 p.m. ET (1:30 a.m. GMT on Saturday), with the winners progressing to the Round of 16, where Switzerland awaits.
