Jerome, another to be absent for the Ghana-Niger match – Otto Addo confirms

Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has announced that two important players will miss their AFCON qualifier against Niger in Morocco.

Jerome Opoku has been ruled out due to back pain and has travelled to Turkey for treatment, while Joseph Paintsil will also be unavailable because of unresolved paperwork issues.

Speaking before the match, Addo expressed confidence in the remaining squad despite the absence of these key players.

“Jerome had serious back problems. His body couldn’t adapt to the training ground in Kumasi, and it became so serious that he had to return to his club for special treatment,” Addo said.

Joseph Paintsil has been ruled out of Ghana’s upcoming AFCON qualifier against Niger due to issues with his paperwork, preventing him from joining the squad in Morocco.

Despite this setback, the Black Stars are determined to bounce back from their loss to Angola in the opening match and secure a win to revive their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations campaign.

The match is set to take place at Stade Municipal de Berkane in Morocco, with kick-off scheduled for 16:00 GMT.
