Defender Abdul Mumin and winger Kamaldeen Sulemana have pulled out of the Black Stars squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Madagascar and Comoros this month.
The duo was named in Chris Hughton’s 25-man squad for the two games and were expected to report to camp on Monday, November 13.
However, Mumin sustained an injury late, meaning the Rayo Vallecano centre-back will miss the two games scheduled for Friday, November 17 and Tuesday, November 21, respectively.
This was Mumin’s first call-up to the Black Stars under Hughton, but he will have to wait for another opportunity to make the team after this setback.
Kamaldeen, who also missed the friendly games against Mexico and the United States of America last month, will be absent for the opening games of the qualifiers once again.
Fortunately, the two players have already been replaced by Medeama Sporting Club’s Nurudeen Abdulai and Leicester City’s Abdul Fatawu Issahaku.
The Black Stars will head to Kumasi on Tuesday to begin preparations for the upcoming games.
