Former Bristol City academy goalkeeper Jojo Wollacott will earn some World Cup redemption by jetting out to be with his Ghanaian teammates after a cruel injury ruled him out of the tournament.
The 26-year-old Charlton stopper has emerged as the Black Stars' No1 over the last year and would have undoubtedly started for Otto Addo's side in Qatar. Wollacott was denied his opportunity on the big stage by sustaining a finger injury in the final game before the tournament.
He had surgery on his fractured finger over the weekend and had headed out to the Middle East ahead of their opener against Portugal on Thursday. According to the Ghana FA, Wollacott's involvement will be to help motivate his colleagues as they look to upset the odds against Cristiano Ronaldo and Co.
