Ghana's national football team has encountered yet another major setback with the news of Daniel Amartey's injury, just ahead of their upcoming game against the Central African Republic (CAR).

In the final Group E match of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, the Black Stars are set to welcome CAR to the Baba Yara Stadium on September 7.

This match holds immense importance as it marks the concluding group stage fixture.

Positioned at the top of their group, Ghana's aspiration for progression necessitates either a draw or a victory.

Successfully securing their place in the upcoming AFCON tournament, scheduled to be hosted in Ivory Coast next year, hangs in the balance.

As anticipation builds for the squad announcement by Chris Hughton, the team's manager, it appears that Amartey's presence is unlikely.

Unfortunately, the Besiktas defender is expected to remain sidelined for a duration of fourteen days due to his injury.

In a double blow, RC Lens midfielder Salis Samed and Anderlecht midfielder Majeed Ashimeru have already been ruled out of the upcoming game due to injuries sustained during the weekend matches.
