Ghana puts in request to FIFA to replace Fuseini

The Ghana Football Association has put in a request to FIFA to replace the injured Amina Fuseini from the Black Maidens squad for the upcoming U-17 Women’s World Cup.

Fuseini suffered an injury in training and has been ruled out of the World Cup in Azerbaijan which kicks off on Saturday. She has since returned home.

However, the GFA is awaiting response from tournament organisers, FIFA, to have Berlinda Anane take the place of the injured player.

The Black Maidens, making their third straight appearance at the U-17 World Cup, open their campaign against Germany on Sunday in Group D.

Mas-Ud Didi Dramani’s side will also face Uruguay and China PR in the group.
