Ghana utility player Yahaya Mohammed has been ruled out of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations due to a groin injury.
The Amidaus Professional attacker suffered the recurring injury and has been examined by the Black Stars medical staff.
Yahaya will be out for between three to four weeks which means he will not be able to recover in time for the competition in South Africa.
“It’s a huge blow for the team, especially me. He has been in very good form and I was looking forward to working with him,” Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah said.
“The medical team will follow his recovery and I expect him to get well soon. He will be considered again once he returns to full fitness.”
Black Stars will depart for the training camp in Abu Dhabi on Friday.
Ghana have been drawn in Group B where they will face DR Congo, Mali and Niger.

Oh No! What a shock!!!
we were already bemoaning our thin strike force but now the strikers are now down to only 3
Oh Brother! What a misfortune,just when he was on top of his game,now this. Now A. Appiah must move swiftly to find his replacement. In my mind the ideal replacement should be Jordan Ayew. We definitely need four strikers for this tournament.
Hmmm… It looks like the coach and management of the Black Stars are determined to keep Jordan out for what appears to be more than footballing reasons.I guess the next logical choice after Jordan should be Warris
WARRIS IS THE BETTER REPLACEMENT NOT JORDAN. 4 GOALS IN 17 GAMES IN THE FRNCH LEAGUE? PLS….GO N CHECK ON THE TOP 25 STRIKERS IN THE FRENCH LEAGUE AND SEE WHERE JORDAN AYEW’S NAME IS?

PERSONALLY, I THINK THIS INJURY IS WEIRD N SMELLS OF 419. DID ABEDI BRIBE YAHYA TO FAKE AN INJURY OR WAT, SO AA CAN NOW CALL JORDAN AYEW?
The last bit of your comment is a joke right. That Abedi bribed Yahaya? What then will you say about Dede Ayew’s latest injury then?
pls go for jordan ayew.
YAKUBU OF ASHGOLD MUST BE INVITED ASAP…then drop solomon asante for Jordan Ayew before we are kicked out in first round
Better replacement Dominic Adiyiah has good form dis season n AFCON experience
oh sorry bro..i wanted see your delightful moves on field of play in the AFCON 2013 but misfortunes has taken his course..aahh gosh!!
Jordan Ayew.
i cant believe this aaaa? When did this happened.
What is written by God is written.iGod time is the best and more success is awaiting for u in future
