Black Stars head coach Chris Hughton isn’t sure about the availability of midfielder Mohammed Kudus for the Stars crucial game against Egypt.

The big matchup takes place on Thursday, January 18 at 20:00 GMT at the 2023 AFCON in Cote D’Ivoire with both teams needing a win after disappointing in their opening games.
