Ghana’s First Choice Goalkeeper, Jojo Wollacott Ruled Out Of 2022 FIFA World Cup After Picking Up Finger Injury

Charlton Athletic goalkeeper Jojo Wollacott will miss the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar after picking up a finger injury on Saturday.

Wollacott’s dream of making his first-ever appearance at the World Cup has been shattered following the injury, he suffered ahead of Charlton Athletic’s game against Burton Albion.

The 26-year-old was expected to start in goal for Charlton Athletic during their league game against Burton Albion on Saturday.

However, Wollacott pulled out of the game after sustaining an injury during the warm up ahead of the game

Charlton Athletic boss, Ben Garner was hoping the goalkeeper’s injury was not enough to rule him out of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

But after undergoing scans, the player will play no part of the Black Stars campaign in Qatar.

He was expected to be named in Otto Addo’s final 26-man squad for the World Cup on Monday, November 14.
