2021 AFCON: Ajax midfielder Kudus Mohammed to join Black Stars on Wednesday

Published on: 11 January 2022

Ajax midfielder Kudus Mohammed is set to join Ghana at the ongoing 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon, according to Saddick Adams.

The SWAG Sports Journalist of the Year says the Ghana Football Association (GFA) is arranging a flight to bring Kudus to Yaoundé.

The 21-year-old has been out of action after picking up a rib injury during Ghana's final Group G 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers against South Africa at the Cape Coast Stadium in November 2021.

However, the Ajax midfielder was named in Black Stars' final 28-man squad for the tournament.

Kudus is currently with his club teammates in Portugal for their winter break camp.

Kudus’ imminent arrival is a big boost for the team following Monday’s loss to Morocco in Yaoundé.

Sofiane Boufal’s late goal handed Ghana a rough start, and the Black Stars must improve in the remaining group games.

Kudus is likely to face Gabon on Friday and Comoros on Tuesday, both of which must be won by the Black Stars to avoid a shock first round exit.
