GHANASoccernet.com can exclusively report that Tottenham Hotspur striker Persis Martha Oteng has been sidelined for Ghana’s 2024 FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup qualifier against Eswatini on Sunday because of a delay in getting her passport.
Persis, born in the German town of Oberhausen but moved to England with her parents, needs a Ghanaian passport to play for the West African country.
She has five goals in seven matches for Spur’s U21 side this term.
The 17-year-old is among 25-players listed by Black Princesses coach Yusif Basigi for the return leg.
Last week, the Black Princesses came from behind to beat Eswatini 6-1 in the third qualifying round first leg.
