Kwarasey faces fitness battle

Ghana goalkeeper Adam Larsen Kwarasey has been ruled out of next month’s double-header 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, according to reports.
The Ghana News Agency (GNA) reported that the Stromsgodset goalkeeper is set to undergo surgery on a recurring injury next week.
Hence, the 25-year-old will miss the trips to Sudan and Lesotho where Ghana need wins to keep snapping at the heels of Group D leaders Zambia.
But Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah, who is yet to release his squad for the assignments, has not commented on Kwarasey’s unavailability.
The Norway-born gloves man lost his position as Ghana’s first choice in the build-up to the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.
His application for a nationality switch was ratified by FIFA in 2011 and made his debut in a 2012 Nations Cup qualifier against Swaziland at home on 2 September.
Kwarasey has since gone on to make 18 appearances for the Black Stars.
