2022 FIFA WCQ: Ghana winger Kamaldeen Sulemana could miss Nigeria game due to injury
Ghana winger Kamaldeen Sulemana could miss the upcoming final play-offs of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Nigeria later this month.
According to Stade Rennais manager Bruno Génésio, the 20-year-old has suffered “a small crack in a vertebra in the back” therefore he’s expected to miss Rennais’ Europa Conference League games against Leicester City on March 10 and 17.
This makes Sulemana a major doubt to face Nigeria in the 2022 World Cup Play-off game against Nigeria.
“No, it’s not a blow, he has what is called an isthmic lysis. I’m not a doctor so I’m not going to go into details but it’s a small crack in a vertebra in the back,” Génésio said in a press conference.
“It’s quite annoying. We don’t know too much (for the duration of unavailability) but it can take time.
“For now, there is no delay because it is still a little sensitive place so we will see the evolution as we go along.
“It’s a bit like a fatigue fracture, it’s an injury that often happens in gymnasts also because there are a lot of shocks.”
The first leg will take place at the Cape Coast Stadium whereas the second leg takes place at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja on March 25 and 29 respectively.
