French-based midfielder, Elisha Owusu will miss the game against Mali in match-day 8 of the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers due to accumulation of cards.
The AJ Auxurre captain made coach Otto Addo’s starting line up for the previous game against Chad and was yellow carded in the 23rd minute which means he is now suspended for the next game.
He didn’t really have a good game entirely despite starting well and made way for Jerry Afriyie in the closing moment of the game.
Upon his suspension, Real Oviedo midfielder Kwasi Sibo has been invited to take up his position following his consistent impressive performance and recently had a descent game against Real Madrid in the Spanish La Liga.
The Black Stars after an embarrassing draw against Chad last Thursday, have returned to the country and have started preparations towards their next game of which they will have to avoid defeat at all cost to keep their qualification hopes alive.
The Black Stars will take on the Eagles of Mali on Monday, September 8, 2025, at the Ohene Gyan Stadium in Accra.
