The Black Stars of Ghana will face a setback in their upcoming international friendly against Nigeria and Uganda as star player Mohammed Kudus is set to miss the match due to injury.
Kudus, who showcased his talent during the 2023 African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, will be absent from the lineup as the team gears up for the encounter with the Super Eagles.
Despite Ghana’s disappointing campaign in the previous tournament, Kudus stood out with his performances, earning praise from fans and pundits alike.
As Ghana begins a new era under coach Otto Addo, the match against Nigeria and Uganda was seen as a valuable opportunity for the team to prepare for future challenges. However, the absence of Kudus will pose a significant challenge for the Black Stars.
The update from the team’s camp in Marrakech, Morocco revealed that the West Ham United attacker is nursing a shoulder discomfort sustained during last weekend’s Premier League game against Aston Villa.
With Kudus sidelined, Ghana will have to rely on other players to step up and fill the void as they aim to put on a competitive performance against Nigeria and Uganda.
