This is the only chance you have [to play for Ghana] because this [World Cup] can be your major tournament in your life.“I was happy for him [Senaya]. Ghanaians were proud of him.”Meanwhile, the Auxerre defender sustained the injury during Ghana’s Round of 32 clash against Colombia on July 3 at the Kansas City Stadium.However, he is making progress in his rehabilitation, having been spotted in the gym working on his right leg as he steps up his recovery ahead of a possible return to action.Ghana open their 2027 AFCON qualifiers against Côte d’Ivoire on September 24 in Bouaké before hosting Gambia at the Accra Sports Stadium five days later.
