Ghana wrap up September friendlies with clash against Nicaragua today

Published on: 27 September 2022

Ghana will take on Nicaragua today in their final September friendly as preparations for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 continues.

The Black Stars will be looking to bounce back to winning ways against the North American country after they were thrashed 3-0 by Brazil in Le Harve and with only two games to play before the finals.

Nicaragua are ranked 139th in the World but have seen an improvement in their team performance in recent time following a seven match unbeaten run that ended on Thursday after losing 2-1 to Suriname.

This is will be first ever meeting between both sides in history.

Thomas Partey will miss the game due to a suspected knee injury however, coach Otto Addo still has a decent squad that can outwit their opponents following a gusty second half display against Brazil on Friday.

The introduction of debutants Salisu Mohammed, Tariq Lamptey and Inaki Williams changed the dimension of the game as the Stars showed class and resilience against the five-time World Champions.

Ghana are paired with Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay in Group H.

The match will take place at Estadio Francisco Artes Carrasco in Lorca at 18:00 GMT.
