Ghana midfielder Daniel-Kofi Kyereh has been declared fully fit for tonight’s game against Nigeria in a decisive 2022 World Cup playoff.
The St Pauli midfielder suffered a slight knock in the lead up to the first leg tie at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi last Friday.
Kyere missed two training sessions before the match and was a late substitute as the Black Stars drew 0-0 with the Super Eagles.
Reports coming from the camp of the Black Stars suggest that the attacking midfielder is now fully fit after recovering from the setback which put him in contention to start against the Nigerians.
Ghana had more possession and chances but proved sloppy in their finishing during the first leg in Kumasi.
Only twice did they test goalkeeper Francis Uzoho, who made a stop from a stinging shot by Issahaku Fatawu in the 33rd minute and then again in the 71st minute from Mohammed Kudus.
Under his first game in charge, Coach Otto Addo handed debuts to AS Roma teenager Felix Ohene-Gyan and 33-year-old former Belgium defender Denis Odoi, who switched allegiance ahead of the two-legged playoff.
Leicester City’s Ademola Lookman, who had previously played for England at the under-21 level, made his Nigeria debut as a substitute for the last 15 minutes.
The winner of the tie will qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar later this year.
