President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku, has expressed concern over the injury crisis in the Black Stars team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Otto Addo's side has been hit with injuries to key members of the team, with the tournament a few months away.
Mohammed Salisu has been ruled out of the global showpiece after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury (ACL), while Abu Francis, Mohammed Kudus and a few others are on the treatment table at their various clubs.
Anxiety amongst Ghanaian fans continues to grow regarding the situation, and Kurt is no different to those sentiments.
"I’m concerned, and everybody is concerned about the number of players in the medical room as you speak now. But I’m very positive. I’m a very positive person," he said in an interview with the GFA Media team.
"I always believe that everything and anything is possible, and our job is to work as much as we can. Our job is to pray as much as we can for the Almighty God to bless us, and we leave the rest to him.
"We’ll do our part, and we know that our part will be enough to make Ghana proud."
The Black Stars are expected to commence their preparations for the World Cup next month when they face Austria and Germany in two high-profile friendly games.
