Turkey based defender Jerome Opoku has been ruled out of the Black Stars' upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Niger due to injury.The player reported to the medical team a deep-seated pain within his left gluteal muscles and further examination confirmed that the pain got aggravated by the poor pitch on which he trained in Kumasi.Jerome would therefore travel to Turkey to receive injections under ultrasound guidance following discussions with his club as he races against time to be fully fit for their next assignment in the Turkish Super Lig.This leaves Otto Addo with 22 players ahead of the game against Niger on Monday.Opoku was an unused substitute in last Thursday's game against Angola at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.Source: Ghana News Agency
