Injury Crisis Hits Black Stars as Kudus and Salisu Miss World Cup
Tottenham forward Mohamed Kudus will miss next month’s World Cup after a quad injury setback ruled him out of Ghana’s 28-man provisional squad, according to beIN Sports. The 25-year-old has not featured since January and has scored 13 goals in 46 caps for the Black Stars. AS Monaco centre-back Mohammed Salisu is also sidelined with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament, leaving him out for at least nine months. Coach Carlos Queiroz has, however, welcomed back several players from long-term injuries. Baba Rahman, Iñaki Williams and Abdul Mumin all earn recalls ahead of Group L fixtures against Croatia, England and Panama.
