Habib Mohammed Injured

The Black Stars are at risk of losing their star left full side defender Habib Mohammed to injury as they prepare for the crucial match against Brazil in Dortmund onTuesday. He picked up an injury during Ghana's training session at the Kickers FC stadium, W?rzburg, just this afternoon, when another player accidentally feel on him.

A source at the team's medical detail told Ghana's broadsheet The Statesman newspaper here at W?rzburg that it could be "as worse as a fracture." He has since been rushed to the local hospital for an X-Ray.

But, all the signs are that the King Faisal player, one of the very few home-based players who made it into the World Cup squad, is very unlikely to recover early enough to take his usual position at the left side of the Stars' defence that has let in a respectable number of three goals in three matches.
