Ghana's Black Stars will be significantly weakened when they face Nigeria's Super Eagles in the upcoming Unity Cup invitational tournament, as several key players are set to miss the competition.
Head coach Otto Addo is yet to announce his squad for the four-nation tournament, but reports indicate that numerous players have withdrawn due to injuries and club commitments.
The highly anticipated clash between the eternal rivals will take place on Wednesday at the Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford, London, marking Ghana's first game in the tournament.
The Unity Cup also features the Soca Warriors of Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica's Reggae Boys, completing the four-team competition lineup.
For both Ghana and Nigeria, the tournament serves as crucial preparation ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches scheduled for September and October.
The Super Eagles are expected to depart for London on Sunday, with their technical team having already announced their squad for both the Unity Cup and an upcoming friendly against Russia.
The Ghana-Nigeria rivalry, one of the most storied in African football, continues to generate significant interest across the continent, with both teams using this opportunity to fine-tune their squads ahead of more competitive fixtures.
