13th January 2022
Head coach of the Black Stars, Milovan Rajevac is unsure when Ajax midfielder Kudus Mohammed will join his Black Stars teammates in camp for the African Cup of Nations tournament.
Kudus Mohammed has been named in Ghana's squad for the African Cup of Nations tournament which is ongoing in Cameroon but is not yet in camp due to his fitness.
The player who was injured but has now returned to fitness has been captured in photos and videos training with his Ajax teammates in a winter training camp in Portugal.
The player sustained an injury during Ghana's 1-0 win over South Africa in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers at the Cape Coast Stadium.
The creative midfielder got injured when Ghana faced South Africa in the last match of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
In the 10th minute, the Ajax midfielder signaled to the bench that he needed attention after an off the ball incident resulted in his injury.
After persistent treatment he was taken off in the 12th minute with Daniel Kofi Kyereh on as his replacement.
Since then he has not played for Ajax but Ghana nonetheless named him in the squad for the tournament and the Serbian coach says the player will join the team but unsure when that will be.
"We are not sure yet about Kudus but we expect to see him soon with us. He is recovering; he has started training so hopefully he will be with our team soon." he said ahead of the Gabon game.
