Charlton Athletic U21 coach praises Ghana goalkeeper Jojo Wollacott after injury return against Bournemouth

Published on: 09 February 2023

Charlton Atheltic U-21 coach, Danny Senda has lauded Ghana goalkeeper, Jojo Wollacott following his return from injury.

The 25-year-old has been out of action after suffering a finger injury prior to a league game against Burton Albion.

The injury also ruled out Wollacott ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar despite playing a key role in the qualifiers.

However, the goalkeeper could soon be in action after returning in goal as his side recorded a 2-1 win over Bournemouth on Tuesday.

Speaking after the game, Senda, said: “Jojo had a really, really calming influence behind the back three.

"He made really good decisions and that enabled us to take control of the game with his ability to build. He pulled off a really good, point-blank save for us midway through the second half, which was a critical moment in the game.”

It is unknown when Wollacott returns to the first-team squad but following his performance in midweek, he could soon be back for the Addicks.

It is also unknown if he will be named in Black Stars' squad for the doubleheader against Angola in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] qualifiers in March.
