Ghana’s World Cup 2026 Hopes Dented as Eddie Nketiah Ruled Out by Injury
Ghana’s preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup suffered a setback after Crystal Palace striker Eddie Nketiah was ruled out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury. Talks between the Ghana Football Association and Nketiah’s representatives had resumed following the dismissal of coach Otto Addo. The 26-year-old, born in London to Ghanaian parents, had been poised to strengthen the Black Stars’ attack. His absence now forces Ghana to revise its attacking plans ahead of the tournament. Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner confirmed the setback and announced that Nketiah will miss the remainder of the campaign.
