Christian Atsu came out injured in Ghana’s goalless draw against Cameroon and Kwesi Appiah will be hoping that the forward will be fit for their last game against Guinea-Bissau.

Thomas Ayepong is still injured but reports suggest that he will be fit to play in the round of 16 if Ghana manages to qualify.

Christian Atsu was taken to the hospital to confirm the extent of his injury and that will determine if he will be fit enough to play the last game against Guinea-Bissau.



Injuries and suspension will force Ghana coach to make some changes in the final group game, with Agyepong and Atsu injured and defender Kassim Nuhu suspended, Kwesi Appiah will be looking to his bench for possible replacements.
