Henry Asante Twum, the Ghana Football Association’s director of communications, has confirmed that Mohammed Kudus has arrived in Ghana and will be joining the Black Stars squad on Monday for the forthcoming 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The West Ham player, who has been recovering from a minor injury, has not yet trained with his teammates in Kumasi, where they started on January 3.
Asante Twum said, “Mohammed Kudus is in Accra ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations. According to the Technical Team, he needs rest after picking up a strain. He will join the team before they depart for the AFCON.”
He is expected to miss Ghana’s pre-2023 Africa Cup of Nations friendly match against Namibia on Monday at Baba Yara Sports Stadium, which is slated to kick off at 8 p.m.
