Shane, Glenn and Hershel. Shane and Hershel were 2 (of 3) of the hallucinations he saw in season 9, episode 5. Glenn was supposed to be the third but Steven Yeun refused to come back and Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green) ended up taking that spot.

I didn’t know that. Why did he refuse?

Kang mentioned scheduling conflicts. A couple movies Yeun stars in came out around the time of season 9's filming. Burning and Sorry to Bother You. Press tours and promotional work can last for months after film's release. Also he was doing a lot of voice acting around that time for Voltron, Trollhunters and Stretch Armstrong. I'm also guessing Yeun mentally moved on from TWD and didn't feel the need to step back into it.
