Henry Asante Twum, the spokesperson for the Ghana Football Association, has affirmed that the Black Stars are currently free from any injury concerns as they prepare for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations opener against Cape Verde.

While the team had a few players sidelined with minor injuries, such as star player Kudus Mohammed, who missed the Kumasi camping and the friendly against Namibia, Asante Twum assured that all players are now free from injuries and the situation is well-managed.

“Everything is under control. We do not have any injury worries whatsoever in camp,” he said.

In the Namibia friendly, Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo and RC Lens midfielder Salis Abdul Samed were excluded from the squad due to minor issues.

The pair, along with Kudus, returned to full training a day after the friendly before embarking on the trip to Ivory Coast.

Ghana is scheduled to play against Cape Verde in a Group B match at Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny on January 14, 2024, with a kickoff time of 20:00 GMT.
