Afcon 2023 qualifier: Ghana play Angola today in return leg

Ghana Black Stars and Angola face off today in Luanda at 4pm for the Africa Cup of Nations Group E clash.

The Palancas Negras came up against the Black Stars last Thursday at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium and lost by a goal at the eleventh hour.

Chris Hughton’s side which arrived in Luanda on Saturday night has recorded some injuries. Andre Ayew couldn’t make the trip as he has been ruled out due to injury.

Other players who didn’t make the trip include Alexander Djiku, Mohammed Salisu and Denis Odoi.

The Black Stars head coach travelled with 21 players.

Meanwhile, Nicholas Opoku has joined the Black Stars in Luanda for today’s game.

The Amiens defender has been drafted in to provide options for Chris Hughton following the absence of Salisu Mohammed and Alexander Djiku.

Nicholas made his Black Stars debut in July 2017, and has gone on to play for Ghana 13 times and scored one goal. He is expected to provide competition for Joseph Aidoo and Daniel Amartey who are the only recognized central defenders in the team.
