Ghana’s prospects have received a significant uplift prior to their pivotal match against the Central African Republic, as winger Kamaldeen Sulemana marks his return from injury.
The Black Stars are on the cusp of commencing their preparations for the showdown in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. Their objective is to steer clear of defeat in order to secure a spot in the tournament scheduled for next year in Ivory Coast. Coach Hughton is anticipated to finalize and unveil his squad in the imminent days.
Sulemana, who had been grappling with a muscle injury a few weeks back, was doubtful, thereby limiting Hughton’s choices while he finalizes his starting lineup for the match.
Fortuitously, the 21-year-old has resumed training with Southampton and is on track to regain fitness for upcoming fixtures, both at the club and international levels.
Following a challenging eight-month period with the Saints, Sulemana is resolute in establishing himself with the English side after his transfer from Rennes in January.
Although uncertainty surrounds his future with the club after their relegation from the Premier League last season, the swift-paced winger has already attracted interest from other teams. His injury posed a hurdle to a potential departure.
Despite his contract extending until 2027, he remains receptive to staying with the club and contributing to their objectives, as he expressed a few months ago in an interview.
