AFCON 2027Q: Alexander Djiku ruled out of Gambia game with injury
Black Stars defender Alexander Djiku has been ruled out of Ghana’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against The Gambia after picking up an injury.
Ghana's Black Stars defender Alexander Djiku has been forced to withdraw from their upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against The Gambia due to an injury. The defender has left the national team camp and is expected to join his club for additional assessment and treatment. This setback comes on top of other recent withdrawals that Ghana's head coach Carlos Queiroz has had to manage prior to the crucial Group C fixture.
The Black Stars are set to host The Gambia at the Accra Sports Stadium on Tuesday, following a 2-0 loss to Côte d'Ivoire in their first match of the campaign. Djiku's participation in the match has been ruled out, as Ghana aims to secure their first points of the AFCON qualification campaign. The team's defense will face an even more challenging task in his absence, as they strive to turn their disappointing start around and secure a positive result against The Gambia.
