Ghana have suffered another massive injury blow ahead of the decisive 2022 World Cup playoff clash with Nigerias on Friday as Moldova-based midfielder Edmund Addo has been released from the squad due to injury, BSNSports.com.ng gathered.

The decision to release the UEFA Champions League sensation means the tough tackler will also not be available for the Black Stars in the second-leg to be played in Abuja on Tuesday.

The FC Sherrif star arrived in Ghana with an injury (unspecified) he picked up playing for his club side at the weekend and thought he would recover in time for the two important matches.

GHANASoccernet.com understands, the 21-year-old underwent an MRI on Wednesday in Kumasi and the result showed severe damage.

Addo is expected in the capital Accra on Thursday to see a specialist at Korle-Bu Teaching hospital.

Already, the Black Stars have been ravaged by injuries with the likes of Baba Rahman, Kamaldeen Sulemana, Samuel Owusu, Richmond Boakye-Yiadom sitting out this month's contest.

It would be recalled that Addo was part of the Black Stars squad that featured at this year’s AFCON in Cameroon.
