Ghana’s interim manager Kim Lars Bjorkegren has admitted the unique challenges ahead of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers against Somalia.

Bjorkegren was appointed as interim Black Stars coach after Carlos Queiroz resigned from his role as Black Stars coach last month.

Speaking ahead of his first match in the men’s game, Bjorkegren, who is also the current Black Queens coach, said, ‘‘Yeah, of course there has been less preparation for me, but I am doing my best.’’

‘‘I have been around a little bit, in Europe to watch some players. I have tried to connect with more or less all the players by phone, and now they are here in Ghana where we have had two training sessions, and we will have another one.’’

Ghana are bottom of Group C, having lost their opening two matches to Ivory Coast and The Gambia.

The Black Stars need to win their next two matches – both against Somalia- to stand a chance of qualification.

While acknowledging the challenges, Bjorkegren also sounded confident his team will execute his game plan on Thursday.

‘‘There have been some meetings, of course, where we have discussed how we want to play, how we want to create chances, score goals and how we want to win this game.’’

Ghana will face Somalia at the Sekondi Sports Stadium on Thursday at 3 PM, before meeting at the same venue on Monday for the reverse fixture.
