2022 FIFA WC: Injury scare for Ghana as attackers Jordan Ayew and Afena-Gyan sustain injuries in Europe

Several Ghanaian players were in action for their clubs abroad over the weekend.

Unfortunately, not all of them managed to finish their games as they sustained injuries.

Two of the players are Black Stars attackers Jordan Ayew and Felix Afena-Gyan.

Jordan Ayew started for Crystal Palace in the clash against Leeds United in the English Premier League.

He was substituted in the second half as Crystal Palace climbed from behind to secure a 2-1 victory.

From the information gathered from sources, the striker felt severe pain having started the game with as many as six stitches.

Elsewhere in Italy, talented teenager, Felix Afena-Gyan was also in action for Cremonese in the game against SSC Napoli.

In the 62nd minute, the forward had an injury as he went down in pain and signaled to be substituted.

The injuries to the two players have now become a worry to the technical team of the Black Stars who deem the strikers important players of the national team.

While the extent of the injuries to the two players is unknown, Coach Otto Addo and his assistants will be hoping it is nothing major as they will be needed for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
