Former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan has expressed concern over the absence of Mohammed Kudus from Ghana’s squad due to injury, describing it as a significant setback ahead of the team’s upcoming international clash against Mexico national football team and preparations toward the FIFA World Cup.
Speaking on World Cup Central on Channel One TV, Gyan said Kudus remains one of the Black Stars’ most influential players because of his creativity, vision, and attacking intelligence.
According to him, the team will undoubtedly feel the absence of the midfielder, whose style of play provides a unique spark that is difficult to replicate.
Gyan, however, urged the technical team to quickly adjust and find alternatives capable of filling the gap left by the injured player, stressing the importance of squad depth in major international competitions.
He noted that although Kudus’ injury is unfortunate, the Black Stars must remain focused and adopt tactical solutions that will keep the team competitive against Mexico and in future World Cup assignments.
Ghana is in Group L in the upcoming World Cup in USA, Mexico and Canada. The Black Stars will Panama, England and Croatia to book a place for the next round.
