They were managing his schedule but the load of training with Ghana had increased. We noticed a swelling and requested for his medical records from Chelsea in accordance with the FIFA requirements."Considering his previous injury profile, we thought it wise that it had become difficult for him to combine our heavy training and the tournament schedule," Ghana's team doctor, Prince Pambo told www.ghanafa.org.Ghana begin the campaign on Friday against France in Group A. The group also includes USA and Spain at the finals which will be played from June 21-July 13.
