Togo may face a significant setback ahead of their crucial double-header against Uganda in the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Goalkeeper Agassa Kossi, who was expected to play a key role, suffered an injury during warm-up for Stade de Reims’ Ligue 1 match against Metz and was replaced by third-choice keeper Sacha Bastien.
🧤 What We Know:
Injury details: The exact nature and duration of Kossi’s injury have not been officially disclosed.
Potential withdrawal: If Kossi is ruled out, Togo will lose a key figure in goal—an experienced player who has often served as a backbone for the team.
Coach Tchakala’s challenge: Togo coach Tchanilé Tchakala had placed high hopes on the veteran goalkeeper to help turn things around for the Sparrowhawks, who have yet to secure a single point after two matches.
🇹🇬 Togo’s Situation in the Group:
With zero points after two games, Togo is in urgent need of results. Facing Uganda’s Cranes—a team known for its defensive discipline—without Kossi could prove costly.
Further updates will depend on medical evaluations, but for now, Togo must prepare for the possibility of heading into these decisive fixtures without their first-choice keeper.
