Ghana goalkeeper Adam Larsen Kwarasey has been ruled out of next month’s double-header 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, according to reports.Â
The Ghana News Agency has reported that the Stromsgodset goalkeeper is set to undergo surgery on a recurring injury next week.
The captain of the Norwegian league leaders joins a growing list of players who are injured for the game after Isaac Vorsah and Abdul Majeed Waris suffered serious setbacks ahead of the crucial qualifiers.
Hence, the 25-year-old will miss the trips to Sudan and Lesotho where Ghana need wins to keep snapping at the heels of Group D leaders Zambia.
But Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah, who is yet to release his squad for the assignments, has not commented on Kwarasey’s unavailability.
The Norway-born gloves man lost his position as Ghana first choice in the build-up to the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.
Fatau Dauda has excelled in the position and he is likely to be relied on for the two matches against the tough opponents.
His application for a nationality switch was ratified by FIFA in 2011 and made his debut in a 2012 Nations Cup qualifier against Swaziland at home on 2 September.
Kwarasey has since gone on to make 18 appearances for the Black Stars.
