Ghana’s
World Cup opponent Portugal have been petrified after defender Ricardo Lima Pepe
was forced off during Real Madrid’s champions League game with Bayern Munich at
the Santiago Benebau.
The 31 year
old center back suffered an hamstring after colliding with his goalkeeper Iker
Casillas and was taken off in the 72nd min after the hard-hitting defender
signaled he couldn’t continue.
Although the
state of Pepe’s injury has not been confirmed, Portugal’s head coach Paulo
Bento will be hoping his prolific defender will be available for the Navigators
with fifty more days to the Global soccer fiesta.
The Black
Stars face Portugal in their second group G match on June 26th in
Natal.
