Jordan Ayew, Gideon Mensah, Alidu Seidu and Abdul Fatawu Issahaku have been ruled out of the forthcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Niger due to injuries, according to the Ghana Football Association.
Alidu Seidu and Gideon Mensah who had to pass a late fitness tests for the Angola game, have been ruled out after further post-game medical assessment revealed findings that make them unfit for selection.
Jordan Ayew and Abdul Fatawu Issahaku sustained injuries during the Angola match. Although Ayew completed the game, MRI scans in Accra revealed significant issues with his knee. Issahaku was substituted in the first half due to his injury.
Following consultations between Black Stars’ medical head Dr. Prince Pambo and Leicester City’s medical team, Ayew and Issahaku will rejoin their club on Sunday to begin rehabilitation.
