Auxerre midfielder Elisha Owusu
Auxerre midfielder Elisha Owusu has opened up about a recent injury that ruled him out of the Black Stars’ 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The midfielder acknowledged the setback while embracing the positive side of the situation.
He admitted that he is saddened by the injury but believes the rest of the squad will achieve the needed results.
“Unfortunately, I won’t be able to join the squad for our FIFA World Cup qualifiers due to injury, but I have full confidence in my teammates to get the job done,” he said.
“It’s never easy to miss out, but I believe everything happens for a reason, and my focus now is on recovery. I know this team is ready to fight, and I’ll be supporting them every step of the way.”
Meanwhile, Cercle Brugge midfielder Lawrence Agyekum received a late call-up to replace Owusu, marking his first-ever senior national team selection.
The former Red Bull Salzburg player has been in impressive form in the Belgian Pro League.
Agyekum has arrived in Ghana and will join the team for preparations ahead of the crucial qualifiers.
Meanwhile, Owusu becomes the 13th Black Stars player to miss the upcoming World Cup qualifiers due to injury.
