Big blow for Ghana as two key players set to miss Chad clash
Ghana's World Cup qualifier preparations against Chad have been disrupted by the absence of key players Alexander Djiku and Joseph Paintsil. Paintsil missed the team's flight due to travel complications stemming from a delayed flight and missed connection, arriving in Accra too late to join the team. Djiku's absence was also noted, although the article doesn't mention why. Despite the setback, the Black Stars have landed in Chad, aiming for a victory to solidify their lead in Group I. Djiku and Paintsil are expected to join the squad for the subsequent match against Mali in Accra, crucial for their 2026 World Cup qualification bid. Ghana currently tops their group with 15 points.
