Inaki Williams, Tariq Lamptey, Jonas Adjetey and Jerome Opoku are the ones who have withdrawn due to obvious injuries. Some of them have missed a couple or less club games while others were taken off injured in their final appearances.
Ibrahim Osman was taken off at half-time for his club while Alexander Djiku and Antoine Semenyo have withdrawn due to fatigue and risk of injury. Joseph Painstil for personal reasons.
Ghana play Angola in Luanda this Friday before taking on Niger in the Accra sports stadium on Monday. They’ll need to win both their games and hope Sudan lose theirs to stand a chance of reaching Morocco next year.
