Newcastle United winger Christian Atsu has joined the injury list in the Black Stars team.
The 25-year-old will not be part of Ghana’s team to face Uganda on Saturday.
Ghana’s toll of injured key players have now increased to five after captain Asamoah Gyan, Thomas Agyepong, Jonathan Mensah and Harrison Afful were all ruled out.
Atsu is said to have picked up the injury during Newcastle United’s League match against Liverpool over the weekend.
The Black Stars team are currently in Kenya preparing for the game against the Cranes.
Coach Kwesi Appiah will have no choice than to head into the game with a fringe side in spite of the team targeting a match-needed victory over Uganda.
Debutants Vincent Atinga, Isaac Twum, John Antwi, Kingsley Sarfo as well as returnees Patrick Twumasi and Daniel Opare are likely to be handed starting roles on Saturday.

Ken are you really ken or one of the Ayews. Listen many key players were not called but nobody said anything. Ghana has more talents so let others also showcase their talents to help their nation. leave the coach alone to do his job. Do you think if the coach were a foreigner can you do this? This new generation can still pull a surprise. Go go go Ghana Black Stars and fight like never before.
now the coach will know that as a coach you must put aside personal vindictiveness but work towards the interest of all. instead of him to bring unity among both upcoming and old players, he is rather scattering them. now which better and experienced players can this coach call to replace the injured ?
