Several key players, including Inaki Williams and Antoine Semenyo, will not make it to Ghana’s crucial matches against Angola and Niger in the African Cup of Nation’s Qualifiers.
These players have recorded varying degrees of injuries and for that matter have been ruled out from the games.
This means Ghana’s hopes of qualifying for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations have been dealt a significant blow with the wave of withdrawals from the national team.
Here’s a breakdown of the withdrawals:
- Inaki Williams: Hamstring injury
- Tariq Lamptey: Calf discomfort
- Jonas Adjetey: Injury setback
- Jerome Opoku: Chronic back pain
- Antoine Semenyo: Patella tendon injury
- Alexander Djiku: Hamstring injury
- Ibrahim Osman: Hamstring injury
- Joseph Painstil: Personal reasons
With such a significant number of players unavailable, Black Stars coach Otto Addo is facing a major challenge in assembling a competitive squad.
To fill the gaps, Terry Yegbe, an Elfsborg defender, has already been called up to replace injured defenders Djiku and Opoku.
Ghana is set to face Angola in Luanda on October 15th, followed by a home match against Niger on October 18th.
