Ghana winger Thomas Agyepong has been ruled out of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Sierra Leone following an injury he picked up playing for Scottish side Hibernian.
The 21 year old on loan Manchester City winger will be unavailable for the game on Thursday and coach Kwesi Appiah confirmed the latest setback but says that will not hinder preparations.
"Yes unfortunately Thomas Agyapong had an injury in their weekend game, he did a scan and thought he could join the team but has been given three weeks off so for that reason he can't be part of the team so there is no intention of replacing him" Coach Names Akwesi Appiah
“Thomas Agyapong injury -It's not going affect our plan or the team but we wish should be part of the team but you can force him to play but the reason why we call 23 players is if someone got injury and has been rule out they can get his replacement," he added.
The Black Stars of Ghana have started preparations ahead of the double header against the Lone Stars of Sierra Leone.
Having lost the second game against Kenya, the team is poised for victory over their West African neiigbours, with coach Kwesi Appiah making some changes in his latest call ups.
Captain Asamoah Gyan returns to the team together with Thomas Agyepong who is now ruled out because of the injury setback.
