The Black Stars suffered a blow on Saturday as midfielder Sulley Muntari will miss Ghana’s final Group G match against Portugal on 26 June in Brasilia due to yellow card accumulation. 

The AC Milan man was booked by referee after taking down Toni Kroos at the edge of the area.

That's was his second of the competition and will serve a mandatory one-match ban.

Muntari is a veteran of three World Cup finals having already featured in 2006 and 2010 hosted by Germany and South Africa respectively.
