Ghana have received a timely boost ahead of their crucial FIFA World Cup Group L encounter against England, with goalkeeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi returning to training with the Black Stars.
The shot-stopper was considered a doubt for Tuesday’s showdown after picking up an injury during Ghana’s 1-0 victory over Panama. Ati-Zigi was forced off at halftime after playing 45 minutes in the World Cup opener.
However, the St. Gallen goalkeeper was spotted training with the rest of the squad, raising hopes that he could be available for selection against the Three Lions.
His return would be a major relief for head coach Carlos Queiroz, with Ati-Zigi expected to play a key role as Ghana look to build on their winning start to the tournament.
Ghana and England both head into the Boston Stadium clash on three points, making Tuesday’s encounter a pivotal one in the race for qualification to the knockout stage.
