Ghana internationals Augustine Boakye and Ebenezer Annan could miss the upcoming Black Stars assignment after their club AS Saint-Étienne secured qualification for the final stage of the Ligue 1 promotion playoffs.
The French side are set for a decisive two-legged playoff against the 16th-placed Ligue 1 team, with matches scheduled for May 21 and May 24.
However, the timing of the fixtures directly clashes with Ghana’s international game against Mexico, which is set to take place on May 22, raising serious doubts over the availability of both players for national team duty.
The overlap leaves Saint-Étienne in a difficult position as they prepare for one of their most important fixtures of the season, with promotion to Ligue 1 at stake.
Boakye and Annan have both played important roles for the club this season, contributing to their push through the playoff stages and strengthening their case as key squad members.
For Ghana, the situation presents a selection headache as the Black Stars may be forced to proceed without two in-form European-based players for the high-profile friendly.
