The 2023 Africa Cup of Nations has taken an unexpected turn for Ghana as the spotlight now focuses on the fitness of Mohammed Kudus.
The West Ham United midfielder, who missed the clash against Cape Verde on Sunday night, is set to undergo a crucial assessment today ahead of Ghana's upcoming showdown with Egypt.
Kudus, initially sidelined due to an undisclosed injury, was unable to contribute to the Black Stars' efforts in the opening Group B game, resulting in a disappointing 2-1 loss to Cape Verde.
The clash at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny saw Cape Verde's Jamiro Monteiro open the scoring in the 17th minute, putting the Black Stars on the back foot early in the game.
Despite a 37th-minute strike by Majeed Ahsimeru, which was initially counted but later nullified by VAR, Djiku pulled one back for the struggling Black Stars.
Garry Rodrigues of Cape Verde sealed the victory with a late goal deep into added time.
The upcoming fixture on January 18th, scheduled once again at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny at 20:00 GMT, now takes on added significance as the Black Stars aim to redeem themselves and bounce back in a crucial encounter against the North African giants.
