ACCRA - An ankle injury has forced Ghana
midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng to withdraw from his country's
squad for matches against Congo and England next week.
The AC Milan player suffered the injury in a Champions
League tie against former club Tottenham Hotspur and although he
appeared as a substitute against Palermo on Saturday, has not
fully recovered, the Ghana Football Association announced on
Wednesday.
No replacement has been named for the German-born Boateng,
who switched his allegiance to Ghana prior to last year's World
Cup in South Africa, where he helped the Black Stars to a
quarter-final place.
Ghana meet Congo in Brazzaville on Sunday in an African
Nations Cup qualifier and then England at Wembley next Tuesday.
