The status of Mohammed Kudus, a great player for West Ham United, is a matter of concern for Ghana’s national football team, the Black Stars. This is because they have an Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023 match against Cape Verde tonight at Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan.
Kudus, who has scored 10 goals in a variety of competitions since joining West Ham, has been putting on incredible performances. However, he arrived for international duty with a hamstring issue.
Due to his limited training sessions, the former Ajax forward’s participation in the forthcoming Group B encounter against Cape Verde is still unknown.
Chris Hughton, the coach of Ghana, said that Kudus might not play in this weekend’s match due to fitness issues.
“On January 13, 2023, Hughton said at a press conference that Muhammad Kudus was the only player who joined us a little bit later due to an injury he sustained, but he is with us now.”
We’ll evaluate him. We are aware that the game is tomorrow, and we will evaluate him. Everyone else is good and ready for tomorrow.
Despite having won the competition four times, Ghana has not had a winning season since 1982 and lost in the group stage of the 2021 competition.
Andre Ayew, who has helped the Black Stars advance to two finals, is gearing up for his seventh AFCON and hopes to take the team even farther.
The former forward for Swansea City, Ayew, continued, “It’s a big tournament for us as a team.” The latest tournament was really challenging, but as I’ve participated in many, many things have to go right for the tournament to end that way.
