Ghanaian goalkeeper Richard Ofori has picked up an injury in Orlando Pirates 1-1 draw with Amazulu in South Africa’s DSTV Premiership.
The experienced shot stopper’s injury in the 55th minute forced him to leave the contest.
Ofori returned to the team as a starter after missing Pirates goalless draw with Richards Bay due to accumulation of yellow cards leading to an automatic one game suspension.
The former Wa All Stars player is in the mix to feature for Ghana’s Black Stars at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar; he is in a direct battle for the starting place with Joseph Wollacott of Charlton Athletic.
Ofori recently manned the post in Ghana’s 1-0 win over Nicaragua but watched from the bench as Ghana lost 0-3 to Brazil in pre World Cup friendly games played in France and Spain respectively.
Ghana is in Group H in Qatar with Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay.
Pirates is scheduled to play Golden Arrows on Tuesday, October 18 and ranks fifth in the 16 team league standings with four wins, four draws and three losses in 11 games.
