Thigh injury causes Wollacott to miss Central African Republic game

Goalkeeper Joseph Wollacott will be absent from Ghana’s final 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against the Central African Republic due to a thigh injury.

According to the Black Stars team doctor, Wollacott, who plays for Hibernian, is anticipated to be sidelined for approximately eight weeks.

The injury was sustained during Wollacott’s debut match against Inter d’Escaldes in the Europa Conference League qualifiers at the beginning of August.

As a result of this injury, Black Stars head coach Chris Hughton omitted the 26-year-old from the squad for the Central African Republic game.

On Thursday, September 7, 2023, Ghana is set to host the Central African Republic in the ultimate match of Group E at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.

The Black Stars’ objective is straightforward: they require just one point from this encounter to secure their qualification for the tournament scheduled to take place in Ivory Coast next January.
