‘Our missing players are more important’ – Gambia coach fires shot at Ghana

The Gambia assistant coach Abdul Jammeh has played down the impact of Ghana’s long list of absentees ahead of Tuesday’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Accra.

Jammeh claims The Gambia have lost five players who have scored 24 goals for the national team in recent months and believes their absences are more significant than those of Ghana’s unavailable players.

While Ghana head coach Carlos Queiroz has called on fans to support the players available to face The Gambia, Jammeh insists the absence of Ghana’s key players does not compare to the impact of the players missing from the Scorpions squad.
