Ghana’s national football team, the Black Stars, will be without key midfielder Thomas Partey for their upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Sudan.
However, coach Otto Addo has confirmed that the team has a strategy in place to handle the absence of the Arsenal star.
The first leg of the qualifier is scheduled for October 10th at the Accra Sports Stadium, with kickoff at 4:00 PM GMT.
Captain Thomas Partey will miss the upcoming match due to a medical issue. Mohammed Kudus will step in as captain in his absence.
Coach Otto Addo, in a pre-match press conference, stated that his attention is on the players who are available for the game, rather than dwelling on those who cannot participate.
“This is my job. We have different solutions how we could play and we as a staff discussed it and I chose one at the end and I’m very very sure it will work,” he remarked.
“We are not thinking too much about the players not here, it’s more about the players which are here, their qualities and how we can inspire them to perform,” he added.
Ghana, still seeking their first win of the qualifiers, will head to Libya for the return leg of the doubleheader at the Martyrs of February Stadium on Matchday 4.
The Black Stars currently sit third in Group F with just one point.
