Black Stars midfielder, Kudus Mohammed is set to miss the 33rd edition of the AFCON due to injury.

Injured Kudus is willing to come and play for Ghana in Cameroon but his club, Ajax is unwilling to release him due to and his injury situation.

The 20-year-old suffered an injury while on international duty with Ghana in their final Group G games of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa.

Kudus has made only eight appearances for Ajax across all competitions this season, scoring two goals.

The Black Stars will camp in Doha for a period of 17 days to prepare for the Tournament which kicks off on Sunday, January 9, 2021.

Ghana are expected to play three friendly matches in Qatar before they emplane to Cameroon for the tournament. The Black Stars are housed in the same Group with Morocco, Comoros and Gabon and will open their campaign against the Atlas Lions (Morocco) on January 10, 2022.
