2021 AFCON: Ghana midfielder Kudus Mohammed set to be available for Gabon clash

Ghana midfielder Kudus Mohammed is set to be available for the Gabon game in the ongoing 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon on Friday.

Mohammed is expected to join his teammates in Yaoundé for the tournament today, according to Saddick Adams.

The SWAG Sports Journalist of the Year said the Ghana Football Association (GFA) is arranging a flight to bring Kudus to the country.

The 21-year-old has been out of action after picking up a rib injury during Ghana’s final Group G 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers against South Africa at the Cape Coast Stadium in November 2021.

However, the Ajax midfielder was named in Black Stars’ final 28-man squad for the tournament.

Kudus is currently with his club teammates in Portugal for their winter break camp.

His imminent arrival is a big boost for the team following Monday’s loss to Morocco in Yaoundé.

Sofiane Boufal scored the game’s only goal in the 83rd minute as Morocco claim another win over the Black Stars.

Kudus is likely to face Gabon on Friday and Comoros on Tuesday, both of which must be won by the Black Stars to avoid a shock first-round exit.
