Black Stars head coach Otto Addo may have to contend with the absence of rising star Ernest Nuamah for Ghana’s upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Angola and Niger. Nuamah, who has been impressive at Olympique Lyonnais, was forced off the field with a thigh injury just 17 minutes into Lyon’s 2-0 victory over AS Monaco, casting doubt on his availability for the national team’s crucial fixtures.

The 20-year-old’s injury comes as a blow to Addo’s plans, as Nuamah has been a key player in the coach’s rebuilding strategy, featuring prominently in recent matches, including Ghana’s 2-1 win over Mali in a World Cup qualifier.

While Nuamah’s status remains uncertain, midfielder Majeed Ashimeru is set to return after recovering from a calf injury, providing some relief for the team.

In other news, veteran forward Jordan Ayew is eager for a fresh start at Leicester City after making his debut in the Foxes’ 1-2 loss to Fulham. Ayew, who recently joined from Crystal Palace, is determined to make an impact and help his new club achieve their goals in the Premier League. He also expressed his support for fellow Ghanaian Abdul-Fatawu Issahaku, who played a key role in Leicester’s promotion and has a bright future ahead.
