A huge cloud of uncertainty hangs over Daniel Amartey's availability for Ghana at the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) in Egypt in June and July.
Following a terrible ankle injury sustained while playing for club side Leicester City in October last year, the centre-back was given a four-month layoff period, which meant he would be back to the pitch in February, four clear months prior to the start of Afcon.
It has been two months after the anticipated deadline and the 24-year-old is yet to resume training, and the latest update from club manager Brendan Rodgers has only cast more doubt over the timely recovery of the two-time Afcon star.
