Accra: Head of the Black Stars medical team, Dr. Prince Pambo, has admitted that the chances of Kudus Mohammed featuring at the 2026 FIFA World Cup remain uncertain following the midfielder's latest injury setback. In a recent interview with Kafui Dey, Dr. Pambo discussed the potential impact of the injury on Ghana's World Cup preparations.
According to Ghana Web, Dr. Pambo described the injury as significant and revealed that Ghana's technical team may have to prepare for the tournament without one of its biggest stars. Dr. Pambo emphasized Kudus Mohammed's importance to world football, stating that if a list of 20 players desired at the World Cup stage were made, Mohammed would be among them.
The Black Stars medical chief disclosed that there has been no official communication from Kudus' club regarding recovery timelines. This lack of information makes it difficult to determine whether the player can return in time for the World Cup. Dr. Pambo mentioned that the club and the player are still considering treatment options, which include both surgical and non-surgical approaches, before a definitive recovery schedule can be established.
