2023 AFCON Qualifiers: Injured Daniel Kofi-Kyereh rallies support for Black Stars ahead of Angola match

Published on: 21 March 2023

Ghana international Daniel Kofi-Kyereh has called on Ghanaians to troop to the stadium in their numbers to cheer the Black Stars up in the upcoming AFCON qualifiers against Angola.

The midfielder was excluded from Chris Hughton’s 25-man squad for the doubleheader against Angola due to injury.

Kofi Kyereh, who plies his trade for Freiburg in the German Bundesliga has been ruled out for the rest of the season with cruciate ligament injury.

The four-time African champions face Palancas Negras on Thursday in a match many expect to be difficult as both sides seek to maintain their unbeaten start to the qualifiers.

Despite missing the games, the Ghana international has urged Ghanaians to fill the stadium to support his teammates.

“Hello this is Kofi Kyereh, dear supporters of the Black Stars, please support our team in the upcoming match in Kumasi. Unfortunately, I cannot be there due to an injury but you guys come and support them” he told Ghana FA media sighted by Footballghana.com.

The Black Stars are unbeaten in Kumasi for the past two decades and are heavy favourites to defeat Angola before travelling to Luanda for the second match.

Ghana leads the qualifying group after a draw and a win in their first two games, but Angola is close behind, and two wins will give the Black Stars a solid chance to qualify.
