Gambia assistant coach Abdul Jammeh has minimized the significance of Ghana’s numerous player absences before their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match in Accra. Key players including captain Jordan Ayew, vice-captains Alexander Djiku and Thomas Partey, and forwards Mohammed Kudus and Antoine Semenyo will not participate for the Black Stars. Despite these notable absences, Jammeh suggests The Gambia views their own missing players as more crucial to their team’s performance. He implies that Ghana’s situation does not significantly alter The Gambia’s preparation or assessment of the upcoming match. The qualifier is scheduled to take place in Accra on Tuesday, with both teams aiming to secure a strong start to the qualification campaign. Jammeh’s comments reflect a confident stance from The Gambia as they approach the match against a depleted Ghana squad.
