Midfielder Thomas Partey could miss Black Stars' crucial 2026 World Cup qualifier against Mali on Monday, September 8. The Villarreal midfielder missed the Matchday 7 game against Chad in N'Djamena due to illness.
In a statement, the GFA said: "Thomas Teye Partey fell ill before the Chad match, Ibrahim Sulemana picked up a knee knock in the final training session in N'Djamena, and Elisha Owusu is ineligible for the Mali game due to accumulated yellow cards." Due to the illness, the 32-year-old is yet to train with the team following the return to Accra since Friday morning.
Meanwhile, Ibrahim Sulemana is also facing uncertainty after sustaining a knee injury during the team's final training session in N'Djamena.
Adding to coach Otto Addo's concerns, Elisha Owusu will miss the encounter due to suspension after accumulating yellow cards.
