Ghana's coach, Chris Hughton, has chosen not to place the blame on Inaki Williams for his goal drought with the Black Stars.
Williams, who switched his allegiance to play for the national team in June 2022, has yet to score for Ghana in eight appearances.
When addressing the challenges faced by Athletic Bilbao's forward while playing for the national team, the former Premier League manager emphasized the need to find the right strategies to create scoring opportunities for him.
Hughton explained, "What we have with all of the players is a short period of time. So if I answer the question in two ways: At the club level, he plays in two positions but generally, he is a number nine, a center forward. At this moment in time and for a good part of the season, he has been playing on the right-hand side in a three."
"Regarding the goals he scores and his performance, this is because what he is able to do at the club is that he has day-to-day contact, day-to-day training, and a way of playing that suits the team. We can't fault the work rate he puts in. He is a player prepared to run behind. We just need to get the formulas right to provide him with the service, which can come in two ways."
"It can come from the wide areas or from runs over the top. Over the period of time, we haven't been able to provide him with that type of service. Some of it has been sporadic; we've had games where we had good possession in the middle of the park and looked for runners."
"But as I said, we need to find the right formulas to create chances for him, and up until this moment, we haven't been able to do that," he stated during the pre-match conference.
Ghana aims to return to winning form against the USA after suffering a defeat to Mexico in their previous international friendly match.
