The Ghana Football Association's Communications Director, Henry Asante Twum, has assured Mohammed Kudus will be ready for Ghana's second group game against Egypt.

The Black Stars face the Pharaohs in their second game at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations looking to bounce back from the opening-day defeat to Cape Verde.

Kudus missed the game against the Blue Sharks as he continues to work his way to full fitness after returning to international duty with a 'slight knock.'

Speaking on Joy News' PM Express, Asante Twum said: "Normally what he does is that after the first 15-20 minutes of training, he joins the physios for his personal training outside of the group."

"Luckily, today [Monday] he trained with the rest of the squad. He stayed in the group training for the whole period. The medical team is still assessing him.

"He is back in full team training and I am sure by Wednesday or Thursday he will be fine for that match."

The Black Stars need to avoid defeat against Egypt if they are to stand a chance of progressing to the next stage of the competition.
