Excitement As Black Stars Key Player Declares Himself ‘Fit & Ready’ Ahead of Nigeria Showdown

• The senior men's national team, Black Stars have been handed a major injury boost after Kudus Mohammed declared himself fit
• Kudus bagged a hattrick for the reverse side of Ajax Amsterdam as he gradually warmed himself to full fitness
• His declaration will hand Otto Addo great respite after sweating on the fitness status of winger Kamaldeen Sulemana

Ghana and Ajax midfield kingpin Kudus Mohammed has declared himself 'fit and ready' following a long injury lay-off.

The 21-year-old midfielder suffered an injury while on national assignment for Ghana in November 2021 and was named in the 28-man squad for the 2021 AFCON but his late recovery coincided with Ghana's early exit.

Since his return to fitness, Ajax gaffer Erik Ten Hag has slowly integrated the Ghanaian back to first-team action.

He made a cameo appearance in Ajax's dramatic 3-2 win over RKC Waalwijk but lasted full throttle for Jong Ajax as they crashed Ado Den Haag yesterday.

In an interview after the game, Kudus said he was fully hit and now prepared for first-team actions after more than four months out.

“It’s an injury with no rehab, no real treatment. I just had to wait for it to heal. I mean, I just crossed another challenge. I’m fully fit now and back again.” Kudus hinted.

The former FC Nordsjælland playmaker's return to fitness will serve as a major boost for the Black Stars ahead of the crucial FIFA World Cup qualifier against archenemy Nigeria later this month.
