Gambia's assistant coach Abdul Jammeh has dismissed the significance of Ghana's absent players ahead of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. The Black Stars will be without their captain Jordan Ayew, vice-captains Alexander Djiku and Thomas Partey, as well as forwards Mohammed Kudus and Antoine Semenyo. However, Jammeh insists the impact of these absences is outweighed by the loss of five Gambian players who have contributed significantly with 24 goals over recent months.
The Gambian team currently holds a positive record with a 2-1 win over Somalia, putting them in a better position than Ghana, who sit at the bottom of Group C after a 2-0 loss to Côte d'Ivoire. A positive result for The Gambia in Accra could help revive their qualification hopes.
