2026 World Cup: Ghana suffer injury blow ahead of Colombia clash
Ghana Defender Kojo Oppong Peprah Ruled Out of World Cup Match Against Colombia
Ghana’s national football team will be without defender Kojo Oppong Peprah for their upcoming match against Colombia in the Round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup on Saturday. The 22-year-old sustained an injury during training, and medical scans have confirmed that he will not recover in time for the game.
Peprah has played a notable, albeit brief, role in the tournament so far. He made a critical impact during the match against England, where he executed a crucial goal-line clearance in the final moments after being on the field for just three minutes. In Ghana’s last group stage match against Croatia, Peprah played the entire second half.
With Peprah unavailable, the Black Stars will need to explore other options to fill his position for the forthcoming clash.
