Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>USA midfielder Yunus Musah says it will be special facing Ghana, his parents\u2019 country, in Tuesday\u2019s international friendly in Tennessee.<\/b><\/p>\n

Musah, who plays for AC Milan, was born in New York City while his Ghanaian mother was on vacation in the United States. His father is also Ghanaian.<\/p>\n

Although he moved to Italy after birth, living in Castelfranco Veneto and later starting his career at Giorgione Calcio 2000, Musah moved to London at the age of nine and joined Arsenal\u2019s Academy in 2012.<\/p>\n

This diverse background allowed Musah to be eligible to play for several national teams, including the USA, Ghana, England, and Italy.<\/p>\n

However, he chose to represent the United States and has made 30 appearances, including four at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.<\/p>\n

He is expected to make his 31st against Ghana, and ahead of the game, he said, \u201cIt\u2019s really special because a lot of people from the Ghanaian community will be watching the game knowing I was eligible to play for Ghana and I have roots from there so it\u2019s a special game,\u201d he said in a pre-match interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a lot of family as well from Ghana and they are all going to be watching,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
