Ghana will have to do without Alexander Djiku when they face Gambia.

The defender is unavailable for this 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, scheduled for Tuesday, September 29, at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Alexander Djiku was injured during Ghana ‘s first match against Ivory Coast, played in Bouaké.

The defender was forced to leave the field prematurely, raising concerns about his availability for the next match.

Despite this injury, the player expressed, in an interview with 3Sports, his determination to return to the pitch quickly to help his national team.

This absence is a major blow for coach Carlos Queiroz, who will have to do without a key player in his defense for this second match of the qualifiers.

The Black Stars approach this game needing to bounce back after their 2-0 defeat against Ivory Coast in their opening match.
