Ghana finds itself in a precarious situation as the Black Stars return to the pitch for a significantly crucial doubleheader against Sudan in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The senior national team have contrived to make the road to their 11th consecutive AFCON finals a herculean task, after suffering a home defeat to Angola - first home defeat in 24 years - before settling for a point against 127th-ranked Niger.
With just one point from a possible six, Black Stars now sit third in Group F, leaving no room for error in subsequent games.
Six points are an absolute necessity to revive their hopes for the continental event in Morocco 2025.
