Ghana Defender Abdul Mumin Out for the Season Due to Knee Injury
Ghanaian defender Abdul Mumin has been ruled out for the rest of the season following a serious knee injury sustained during Rayo Vallecano’s recent La Liga clash against Sevilla. The 26-year-old centre-back was forced off the pitch in the 35th minute of the match, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Reports from Spain confirm that Mumin’s injury will keep him sidelined for the remainder of the campaign, dealing a major blow to both his club and the Ghanaian national team. The defender has been a crucial part of Vallecano’s lineup, featuring in 24 of their 26 league matches this season and holding the top spot for most blocks in La Liga.
This injury also comes at a difficult time for Ghana’s national team, as they prepare for their upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar on March 21 and 24. Mumin’s absence leaves a gap in the Black Stars' defense, potentially forcing the team to make last-minute adjustments to their squad. His presence would have been vital in these crucial fixtures, as Ghana aims to solidify its position in the qualifiers. Despite this setback, there is hope that the defender may recover in time for matchday seven and eight of the qualifiers, offering the team a boost later in the campaign.
Mumin, who has earned two caps for the Black Stars, has steadily built a reputation as a reliable and commanding defender. His performances in Spain have made him a key player for both club and country, and his injury will undoubtedly be a concern for fans and coaching staff alike. As he begins his recovery process, Ghanaian supporters will be hoping for a swift return, not just for his club, but also to strengthen the Black Stars in their World Cup qualification journey. For now, the focus will be on how the national team adapts in his absence, as they push forward in their quest to secure a spot at the 2026 tournament.
