Video: Goalpost falls on Black Stars’ Jojo Wollacott

On Tuesday, March 21, 2023, as the Black Stars were in training, goalie Jojo Wollacott experienced a frightening incident when the goalpost collapsed, injuring his leg.

The goalkeeper, who had just recovered from a long-term finger injury, was escorted from the field and unable to finish the practice.

In a statement, the Ghana Football Association stated that Wollacott’s right toe was hurt as a result of the incident.

The training goalpost, which is smaller than the ones used in real matches, brutally toppled on the goalkeeper in a video seen by GhanaWeb Sports without any sign of a force majeure.

Although the event seemed to be concerning, the GFA clarified in a release that the injury is not significant; as a result, he will be ready for training on Wednesday before the 2023 Africa Cup qualification match against Angola.

The match is set for 16:00 GMT kick-off time at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Thursday, March 23, 2023.
