Former Black Stars goalkeeper, William Amamoo ,has bemoaned that the goalkeeping department of the Black Stars is the weakest link in the team going into the mundial.
Coach Otto Addo officially announced his squad for the tournament with Charlton Athletic goalkeeper Jojo Wollacot and Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Richard Ofori were excluded from the squad due to injuries and have been replaced by Saint Gallen goalkeeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi and Goalkeeper Ibrahim Danlad of local based side Asante Kotoko.
Sharing his thoughts on the goalkeeping situation in the Black Stars with few days to the World Cup, Williams Amamoo said,
“To me, the goalkeepers department is the weakest link in the team at this moment going into the World Cup.
“Looking at the Squad back in 2006 and previous editions of the World Cup we have played, this current goalkeeping department is the weakest”. He told Ohene Bampoe Brenya on Happy Sports.
“I was not happy when I learnt both our first and second choice goalkeepers are injured.
“I have to be very honest, if you have a very good squad and your goalkeeping department is shaky, then there is a call for worry”. He added.
As part of their last preparation for the tournament, Ghana will play Switzerland on Thursday in Abu Dhabi before traveling to Doha to take part in the competition.
Among the teams assigned to Group H, Ghana has been drawn along with Portugal, Uruguay, and South Korea.
The Black Stars will Portugal on November 24, before taking on South Korea three days time and a titanic clash against Uruguay in the final group game on December 2, 2022.
