In a sudden twist, Ghana’s head coach, Chris Hughton, has made necessary adjustments to the national team’s lineup in preparation for their international friendly matches. The Black Stars of Ghana are gearing up to face Mexico and the USA as part of their rigorous preparations for the commencement of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The team encountered an unfortunate setback as injuries have sidelined four of the initially selected 23 players. Tariq Lamptey, Daniel Amartey, Alexander Djiku, and Osman Bukari will be unable to participate in the upcoming friendlies against Mexico and the USA due to their injuries.
In response to this situation, Coach Chris Hughton has acted swiftly and decisively by extending invitations to three additional players to fill the void left by the injured squad members. Kingsley Schindler, Jerome Opoku, and Stephan Ambrosius have been called up to reinforce the team for the imminent fixtures.
The adjustment in the squad’s composition aims to maintain the team’s competitiveness and overall performance as they face strong international opponents. The first friendly match, pitting the Ghana national team against Mexico, is scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 14, 2023, and it holds great significance as part of Ghana’s preparations for future competitions.
Ghana’s football enthusiasts and supporters are eager to see how these changes will impact the team’s performance in the forthcoming friendlies. The adjustments reflect the team’s adaptability and determination to continue building a formidable squad for future challenges.
