Former Ghana national team player Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu said that the return of Mohammed Kudus and Alexander Djiku to the Black Stars squad will be a boost ahead of the team’s upcoming matches. This was reported by MyJoyOnline.
Kudus’ role in the squad
Agyemang-Badu noted that the national team needs Kudus, particularly given Partey’s absence. In his view, the footballer has the qualities needed to lead the team.
Former player Agyemang-Badu also expressed optimism about Kudus’ physical condition after his recent injury. According to Agyemang-Badu, the club’s permission for the footballer to join the national team may indicate that he has recovered sufficiently and is gradually regaining fitness, although the exact level of his readiness is unknown.
