Ghana defender Mohammed Salisu is set to miss the 2026 FIFA World Cup after suffering a serious anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, dealing a major blow to the Black Stars.
The injury, which occurred during club action, is expected to keep the centre-back out of competitive football for several months, ruling him out of Ghana’s World Cup campaign. Medical assessments indicate that the recovery process will require surgery followed by an extended rehabilitation period.
Salisu has been a key figure in Ghana’s defensive setup in recent years, and his absence presents a significant challenge for the national team’s technical handlers.
Football fans and teammates have taken to social media to wish the defender a speedy recovery, as the Ghana Football Association monitors his progress closely.
