Ghana’s preparations for their crucial World Cup encounter against Colombia have received a timely lift, following encouraging injury updates from the Black Stars’ training camp.
Goalkeeper Lawrence Ati Zigi has returned to full training and is match fit, providing head coach Carlos Quieroz with a strong option between the posts. However, despite Zigi’s availability, the Ghana Football Association’s communications director has indicated that Accra Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Benjamin Asare is expected to retain his place as the team’s number one.
There was further good news regarding forward Antoine Semenyo, who picked up a knock during Ghana’s previous outing against Croatia. The injury is not considered serious, and the striker is expected to be ready in time for the Colombia fixture, easing concerns over Ghana’s attacking options.
Meanwhile, defender Jerome Opoku has also recovered well from a groin issue. The centre-back is expected to rejoin full team training, putting him firmly in contention for selection.
With key players returning to fitness at a decisive stage of the tournament, Ghana’s camp appears increasingly settled as they fine-tune preparations for a high-stakes clash that could define their World Cup journey.
