Ghana's football captain Jordan Ayew will miss the opening games of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers due to a knee injury. The 34-year-old Sheffield United player did not attend the national team's training session on Monday and has been ruled out after a scan confirmed his knee issue. This setback adds to Ghana's challenges as they prepare to start their qualifying campaign following a disrupted schedule.
Ayew's absence, alongside other key players like Mohammed Kudus, Antoine Semenyo, Baba Rahman, Alidu Seidu, and Prince Kwabena Adu, leaves the Black Stars with a depleted squad. The team is set to face Côte d'Ivoire in an away match on September 24, followed by a home game against Gambia on September 27 and a final friendly against Morocco on October 4.
Ghana's goal is to regain a spot in the AFCON finals, which they failed to qualify for in the previous tournament in Morocco.
