CAN 2025 (Qualifiers): Ghana deprived of four key players, including Thomas Partey
Major absences for the Black Stars
Ghana’s national team, led by Otto Addo, is preparing to face Sudan on October 11 and 14, 2024 in the qualifiers for the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations 2025. However, the Black Stars will be without four of their key players, including Thomas Partey, Joseph Painstil, Kingsley Schindler, and Osman Ibrahim, all of whom are absent due to injuries sustained the previous weekend.
Replacements called in as reinforcements
To compensate for these forfeits, Ghana’s technical staff quickly reacted by calling up new players. Michael Baidoo, Abu Francis, Jonas Adjetey, and Ibrahim Sadiq will join the team to strengthen the squad and ensure competitiveness for the two crucial matches against Sudan. These replacements aim to maintain the team’s level of play despite the absence of its key players.
Conclusion
The loss of experienced players like Thomas Partey poses a major challenge for the Black Stars in their bid to qualify for the 2025 AFCON. However, with promising replacements and a cohesive squad, Ghana will be hoping to continue their momentum and produce positive results in the double-header against Sudan.
