Ghana dealt major blow ahead of Nigeria clash as goalkeeper Richard Attah suffers injury

Ghana has been dealt a blow ahead of the clash against Nigeria later this month following an injury to goalkeeper Richard Attah.

Although the Hearts of Oak goalie was only the fourth choice for the Black Stars at the 2021 TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament, he has been backed in recent weeks to be made the number one.

Today, he was in post for Hearts of Oak when the team played as a guest to Aduana Stars in a matchday 20 encounter of the Ghana Premier League.

Unfortunately for the goalkeeper, he could not even last the first 45 minutes. Due to an injury, he had to be stretched off after just 32 minutes.
