Ghana defender Akaminko misses WCup
AP Published in Ahram Online on 01 - 06 - 2014

Defender Jerry Akaminko was left out of Ghana's final World Cup squad on Sunday after being injured and stretchered off in a tuneup game against the Netherlands.
Turkey-based Akaminko, Leicester City defender Jeffrey Schlupp and striker David Accam were cut from the final group named by coach Kwesi Appiah a day after the 1-0 loss to the Dutch in Rotterdam.
Captain Asamoah Gyan and midfielder Sulley Muntari were included to play at their third World Cup for Ghana, which has qualified for the last three showpieces and made the quarterfinals four years ago in South Africa. Michael Essien, Kevin-Prince Boateng and Ayew brothers Andre and Jordan also made the 23-man squad.
Akaminko hurt his ankle late in the game against losing 2010 World Cup finalist the Netherlands and was carried off. The 26-year-old Eskisehirspor player will be sidelined for three months, the Ghana Football Association said.
