Kudus Mohammed pulls out of Ghana's squad for Nigeria, Uganda friendlies - Reports

West Ham United star Kudus Mohammed has withdrawn from Ghana's squad for the March 2024 international break.

A report by 3sports suggests that the 23-year-old suffered shoulder discomfort during West Ham United's one-all draw with Aston Villa on Sunday, March 17, 2024. As a result, he has to stay in London to treat what is reported to be a shoulder injury.

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) is yet to confirm Kudus' withdrawal and a replacement for the talisman.

Meanwhile, the Black Stars have begun preparations for the friendly games scheduled for March 22 and 26, 2024.

Currently, 23 players have arrived in the team's camp in Morocco.

They will wrap up their international break with a game against Uganda on March 26 at the Stade de Marrakech.
