Black Stars Management Committee Chairman, Dr. Randy Abbey, has indicated that Ghana may be without several key players for the upcoming 2025 Unity Cup in London.
The Black Stars are set to face long-time West African rivals Nigeria in the semifinal of the four-nation tournament on May 28.
The winner will advance to the final on May 31 at the Gtech Community Stadium, where they will play either Jamaica or Trinidad and Tobago.
In an interview with 3Sports, Dr. Abbey expressed concern over player availability, citing injuries and club commitments.
“There are quite a number of players who are injured. There are a few players who are also engaged in qualifying games for Europe, and so their clubs won’t release them. Mind you, this period is outside the FIFA free period,” he said.
He added that several leagues will still be active during the Unity Cup, further limiting player availability.
“For those whose leagues are still in session, and who remain in contention, they might not be available—plus the injured players,” he added.
The Black Stars are expected to begin their training camp on Sunday, May 25, in Accra. The Unity Cup fixtures will serve as a preparatory phase ahead of Ghana’s crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against Chad and Mali in September.
