Hamidu was the only local player who was named in Ghana’s squad for the two friendly games against Mexico and the USA.

However, the defender missed the game against the EL Tri of Mexico due to his involvement in the Capital City Cup game between Medeama and DC United, where the Ghanaian champions suffered a 2-1 defeat at Audi Field.

The Yellow and Mauves requested for the release of the defender for the game against DC United which was granted by the Ghana FA.

Hamidu, has, however, rejoined the Black Stars team for the trip to Nashville ahead of the USA clash.

The former Accra Lions player is expected to train with the Black Stars team on Monday ahead of their game against the USA.

Hamidu made his Ghana debut last month in the 3-0 friendly win against Liberia and made a good account of himself.

The Black Stars is aiming for a swift return to victory having suffered a 2-0 defeat to Mexico at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.

The international friendlies are preparatory matches for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers as well as the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.

The left-back earned a maiden call-up to the senior national team last month in a friendly game against Liberia, a game the Black Stars won 3-1 at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The 24-year-old received a late call-up to replace injured duo Abdul Rahman Baba and Gideon Mensah, who were both injured and ruled out.

Fatawu is the only home-based player named in the Black Stars roaster for the two friendlies with Medeama teammate Jonathan Sowah omitted from the squad.

Fatawu has also played a pivotal role for his club in their qualification for the CAF Champions League group stage with impressive performances.

It is the first time the Ghanaian champions have achieved the feat in their history and the first time a Ghanaian club have thus far in the Champions League since 2012.

The Black Stars will face Mexico at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte on October 14, followed by a match against the United States of America on October 17, 2023, in Nashville, Tennessee.
