Head coach of Ghana, Chris Hughton, confirmed that the West Ham United player's arrival was somewhat delayed due to a minor injury.
On Monday, Kudus is anticipated to arrive at the Black Stars camp in Kumasi, where the team is currently based.
Kudus will not play in the pre-AFCON friendly against Namibia on Monday, January 8, 2023, at Baba Yara Stadium, despite his availability.
