Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Richard Ofori has been dropped from Ghana squad for the 2023 African Cup of Nations qualifiers, writes Robert Matakanye.
The 28-year-old goalkeeper, who was named in the initial squad for the 2023 African Cup of Nations qualifiers, has been omitted from the trip to Angola.
Asante Kotoko shot-stopper Ibrahim Danlad has been called up to replace him. The Bucs goalkeeper reported to camp in Accra on Thursday but after examination it was picked that he had aggravated a hamstring injury, ruling him out for an undisclosed period.
Ofori played an instrumental role in Orlando Pirates Caf Confederation Cup campaign. Ghana, who lead group E after their 3-0 victory over Madagascar on Wednesday, will play Central African Republic on Sunday, June 5 at Estadio II de Novembro Stadium in Luanda, Angola.
The Black Stars will be looking for a second win to extend their lead at the top of the group. Central African Republic opted for Angola because they do not have a Caf approved stadium to host International matches.
