Black Stars forward Brandon Thomas-Asante has expressed disappointment after being forced to withdraw from Ghana’s squad for the March international window due to injury. The Coventry City striker was ruled out after picking up a knock in his club’s recent fixture, preventing him from joining the team in Austria for friendlies against Austria and Germany. Reacting to the setback, Thomas-Asante admitted missing out on national team duty was difficult. “It’s frustrating to miss out on camp with the team, which is always an honour I hold highly,” he said. The forward added that the decision to withdraw was made in consultation with both Ghana’s medical team and his club, with priority placed on his fitness ahead of a crucial period. “Upon collaborative advice of both Ghana and Coventry, I’ll focus on maintaining fitness for an important few months for both club and country,” he stated. Thomas-Asante’s absence is a blow to the Black Stars, who are using the friendly matches to prepare for upcoming competitions, including the 2026 World Cup.
