The Black Stars conducted their first training session in Seoul on Sunday as they gear up for Tuesday’s friendly against South Korea.
Coach Otto Addo faces a challenging task, navigating a squad affected by multiple injuries. Antoine Semenyo and Mohammed Salisu have both returned to their clubs due to fitness concerns, joining Francis Abu, who remains sidelined with a fractured ankle.
Semenyo, who started in last Friday’s friendly against Japan, was substituted in the 55th minute after aggravating a left anterior talo-fibular ligament sprain.
Salisu, unused against Japan, is recovering from bilateral medial collateral ligament sprains.
These developments leave Addo with 19 players to finalize his lineup. The team will continue preparations with a session at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on Monday ahead of the 10:00 a.m. kickoff on November 18, 2025.
Despite the disruptions, the Black Stars are determined to respond positively and close the international window on a strong note.
