Sulley Muntari is out of Ghana’s final friendly match before the start of the World Cup, the Ghana Football Association has confirmed.

The midfielder is undergoing a two-day physiotherapy treatment for a thigh problem under the supervision of a specialist in London and would be unavailable for the Saturday's game against Latvia at Milton Keynes.

However, the Ghana camp have been given assurances that Sulley would be available for the World Cup as he is set for a return to the team's base Saturday evening.

Results of an MRI scan on Thursday on his left thigh revealed blood clots which would require a few days rest after treatment.
