“He is one of the best players in the team and one of the best players in the world. Definitely, we will miss him. But we wish him a speedy recovery so he can join the team in upcoming games”, Ofori said during a press conference.
“The most important thing is that anyone who wears the Ghana jersey is capable of delivering for the country,” he concluded.
