Chris Hughton, the coach of the Black Stars, explained during a press conference ahead of their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Palancras Negras of Angola why Baba Rahman was not included in the 25-man squad.
Rahman, a crucial member of the team, was excluded due to an injury he sustained while playing for his club, Reading FC. Hughton revealed that Rahman has been out of action for the past three weeks and has not played for his club during that period.
“It’s very easy, Baba Rahman is injured. He is been injured for the past three weeks. If you look at probably the last three week or a month he hasn’t played for his club Reading FC”
The Black Stars will play against Angola on March 23, 2023, at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi before traveling to Luanda for the return leg encounter on March 27, 2023.
