Key Black Stars defender an injury doubt for Black Stars’ crucial Chad and Madagascar World Cup qualifiers
Black Stars defender Abdul Mumin sustained an injury during Rayo Vallecano’s 1-1 La Liga match against Sevilla on March 1, 2025, raising concerns ahead of Ghana’s upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The 26-year-old was substituted in the 35th minute after an impressive defensive display, including a goal-line clearance. The specifics of his injury remain undisclosed.
Ghana is set to host Chad on March 21 at the Accra Sports Stadium, followed by an away match against Madagascar on March 24. The latter fixture was relocated to a neutral venue after CAF deemed Madagascar’s home ground unsuitable.
Mumin has been a key player for Rayo Vallecano, making 24 appearances this season and contributing two goals and an assist.
He has featured in just four games for the Black Stars, with half of them being starts coming in the first two 2025 AFCON qualifiers.
His potential absence poses a challenge for the Black Stars as they prepare for these crucial qualifiers.
Further updates on Mumin’s condition are awaited to determine his availability for the national team.
