Ghana’s head coach, Chris Hughton, is bracing for the 2026 World Cup qualifier against Comoros with the absence of two pivotal players, Mohammed Kudus and Daniel Amartey who have succumbed to injuries
The critical Group I match, scheduled for Tuesday, November 21, 2023, will see the Ghanaian team navigating the challenge without Mohammed Kudus and Daniel Amartey.
Daniel Amartey, a key defender, was unable to pass a last-minute fitness assessment, as revealed in a statement by the Ghana Football Association on Monday morning.
Amartey sustained an injury barely an hour into the match against Madagascar at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Friday, prompting his substitution by Kasim Adams.
Adding to the setback, reports indicate that Mohammed Kudus is also set to sit out the game due to an injury incurred during the Black Stars’ training session on Monday preceding the match.
The absence of the West Ham United midfielder poses a significant setback for the team, especially as they aim for consecutive victories in the qualifiers.
With the game set to kick off at 4 pm at the Stade de Moroni, Ghana faces a challenging task in securing a positive outcome without these key players.
The development amplifies the importance of strategic adjustments and collective effort to overcome the hurdles posed by the absence of Amartey and Kudus.
