Following a hard-fought victory against Madagascar in their opening World Cup qualifier, Ghana’s Black Stars are gearing up to face Comoros in a crucial match this afternoon. Aiming for a convincing win to secure a solid position in the group standings, the team understands the significance of outperforming Comoros, especially after Mali’s draw against CAR.
Manager Chris Hughton faces a challenge in selecting the starting eleven for today’s game, particularly due to injury concerns within the team. Unfortunately, Daniel Amartey will miss this encounter, while doubts loom over Mohammed Kudus’s availability following reported back pains.
Expected to guard the post is Richard Ofori, earning his place through an impressive display in the match against Madagascar. Gideon Mensah is likely to retain his left-back position after contributing an assist in the previous game. With Amartey sidelined, Nicholas Opoku is anticipated to partner with Kassim Adams in central defense, while Alidou Seidu maintains his role at right-back.
In midfield, the partnership could feature Majeed Ashimeru and Salis Samed, while Joseph Painstil steps in for the potentially injured Kudus. Jordan Ayew is set to occupy the left-wing, and the attacking front will see Inaki Williams, the sole scorer against Madagascar, alongside Antoine Semenyo.
