Ghanaian defender Abdul Mumin has been dealt a significant blow ahead of the Black Stars' crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers later this month.
The 26-year-old center-back suffered a setback during Rayo Vallecano's 1-1 stalemate with Sevilla in La Liga on Saturday, March 1, and was subsequently substituted in the 35th minute, making way for Aridane Hernández.
Prior to his premature exit, Mumin was rock-solid at the back, pulling off a stunning goal-line clearance, intercepting a dangerous pass, blocking a potent shot, and boasting an impressive 81% pass completion rate, having successfully executed 17 of his 21 attempted passes.
The severity of Mumin's injury remains unclear, casting a shadow of uncertainty over his availability for Ghana's impending qualifiers.
