West Ham star Mohammed Kudus has returned to training ahead of Ghana’s crucial clash with Egypt in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Kudus had missed Ghana’s surprising defeat to Cape Verde due to a slight knock, but he seems now more likely to feature against the Pharaohs.
Ghana Football Association’s Communications Director, Henry Asante Twum, has revealed that Kudus has already joined the full-team training session and there is general optimism that he will be fit for the Egypt game.
Asante Twum said: “Normally what he does is that after the first 15-20 minutes of training, he joins the physios for his personal training outside of the group.
“Luckily, today [Monday] he trained with the rest of the squad. He stayed in the group training for the whole period. The medical team is still assessing him.
“He is back in full team training and I am sure by Wednesday or Thursday he will be fine for that match.”
Kudus has been in exceptional form for West Ham this season, scoring nine goals in 24 games and his return will give Ghana a massive boost against Egypt.
The game is a must-win for both sides, especially for the Black Stars, whose defeat could see them exit the competition early in the group-stages.
