Black Stars head coach Chris Hughton has admitted the unavailability of Tariq Lamptey is a huge blow for his side against Angola in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
The Brighton and Hove Albion man, who suffered a knee injury, was initially part of Ghana’s 25-man squad.
However, the right-back has been replaced by Kingsley Schindler of Koln in the German Bundesliga.
“Tariq Lamptey will be a big miss for us, but that is why we have a squad, we knew two weeks before he might not make it so we were ready for this,’ Hughton said.
Lamptey has played four games Ghana after featuring at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Ghana will host Angola at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Thursday at 4 pm.
