2023 AFCON Qualifiers: Injured players will be missed but we have a prepared squad - Chris Hughton

Published on: 27 March 2023

Chris Hughton, the coach of Ghana's national football team, the Black Stars, has expressed his confidence in the squad ahead of the clash against Angola, despite some players being injured.

In a statement ahead of the game, Hughton acknowledged the absence of the injured players but emphasized that they have a deep enough squad to cope with the situation.

This positive outlook from the coach is likely to inspire the remaining players to step up their game and give their best performance on the pitch.

"Their absence is a loss to the team because they are not only players in the squad but they are players who have been around and been part of the squad for a while," he said.

"But this is International football and this is why you have a squad prepared and always if its starters like in particular Denis Odoi and Alexander Djiku – both started then this is where you have a squad and it’s always an opportunity for somebody else,"
