Jordan Ayew ruled out of Ghana’s AFCON qualifiers
Ghana captain Jordan Ayew has been ruled out of the Black Stars’ upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Côte d’Ivoire and Gambia after suffering a groin injury.
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.
