The likes of AZ Alkmaar’s Ibrahim Sadiq also got called up for the crucial games that could jump start Ghana’s 2025 AFCON qualification chances or pretty much end it.

25 year old Baidoo had a fine 2024 season in the Swedish league with Elfsborg where he registered 10 goals and four assists in 24 games.

In the Europa League, Baidoo has a goal in two appearances after bagging three assists and three goals in eight games in the Europa League Qualifying Round.
