Richard Ofori's World Cup dream in jeopardy after sustaining a new injury

Published on: 15 October 2022

Goalkeeper Richard Ofori's World Cup dream is in jeopardy after sustaining a fresh knee injury in Orlando Pirates home draw with Amazulu FC on Friday evening.

In the matchday 11 contest of the ongoing 2022/23 football league season, Richard Ofori put on a fine show in the first half.

Just ten minutes into the second half, he suffered an injury and could not continue the game due to the pain he felt.

As a result, he was replaced by Siyabonga Mpontshane who played the remaining minutes of the league match.

Ofori has been afflicted by injuries in recent years, and he was forced to withdraw from Ghana's 2021 Africa Cup of Nations campaign in Cameroon earlier this year due to an injury.

He was first called up to the senior national team for 2016 African Nations Championship qualification, where he played both legs against the Ivory Coast. He was later called up by head coach Avram Grant for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.
