Black Stars coach, Chris Hughton has explained the exclusion of Reading FC’s Baba Rahman from Ghana’s 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Chris Hughton announced a 25-man squad for the doubleheader against the Palancras Negras of Angola without Baba Rahman who has been an integral member of the team.
Asked at the Pre-match press conference on why he left out the Chelsea loanee, Chris Hughton admitted that his absence is due to an injury he has sustained at his club, Reading FC.
“It’s very easy, Baba Rahman is injured. He is been injured for the past three weeks. If you look at probably the last three week or a month he hasn’t played for his club Reading FC”
The Black Stars will host Angola on March 23, 2023, at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi later today before they will travel to Luanda for the return leg encounter of the AFCON qualifiers on March 27, 2023.
