Charlton Athletic’s under 21 coach Danny Senda was pleased with the performance of Black Stars shot-stopper Joseph Wollacott in a friendly match victory against Bournemouth on Tuesday.
The former Swindon Town goalkeeper manned the post for the entire duration of the game as he continued his recovery from a finger injury that kept him out of the 2022 World Cup.
Carlton Athletic got the winner with just seven minutes remaining, and coach Danny Sender cited Wollacott’s contribution as crucial to the team’s victory.
“Jojo had a really, really calming influence behind the back three. He made really good decisions and that enabled us to take control of the game with his ability to build. He pulled off a really good, point-blank save for us midway through the second half, which was a critical moment in the game.”
Despite the injury, which has kept him out of action for nearly three months, the 26-year-old has already made 16 appearances for his club this season and is hoping to be battle-ready as soon as possible to get more games.
He will also be eying a return to the national team ahead of Ghana’s doubleheader against Angola in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers to be played in March.
