Sulley Muntari’s injured tibia serves as a vivid illustration of the intense battle that unfolded on Tuesday in Cairo during Ghana’s match against Egypt. Despite a 1-2 defeat against the Pharaohs, Ghana secured a brilliant qualification for the World Cup, marking their third consecutive entry into the final phase.
Muntari, like Andre Ayew, faced a challenging task during the match. A notable tackle in the first half left a significant blood stain on Muntari’s sock, foreshadowing the extent of his injury. After the match, the midfielder shared an image on social media, revealing his completely disfigured leg.
Despite the severity of the injury, Muntari expressed his joy and patriotism, stating, “We are ready to die for the motherland. We are qualified, and thank you for your prayers and support.” The AC Milan player will require 40 stitches to address the injury, underscoring the sacrifice and determination displayed by the Ghanaian team in their quest for World Cup qualification.
