How Ghana will cope without 'leader' Andre Ayew in Afcon qualifier against Sudan - CK Akonnor

Ghana coach CK Akonnor believes his team will have to find a way to deal with the absence of talismanic captain Andre Ayew in Tuesday's 2022 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifier against Sudan.

The Black Stars are set to play as guests to the North Africans in a matchweek four fixture at Al Hilal Stadium in Omdurman, five days after relying on two goals from the Swansea City forward to register a 2-0 triumph in a first leg fixture in Cape Coast.

Ayew, who similarly netted twice in Ghana's last game coming into the November Afcon qualifiers, has been forced to withdraw from the reverse fixture due to an injury picked up during Saturday's training session in Accra.
