Powerful performance in loss
Ati-Zigi had seven saves and allowed one goal in Friday's 1-0 defeat to Colombia.
Analysis: Ati‑Zigi delivered an excellent performance against a strong Colombian side, making seven major saves, though Ghana ultimately failed to respond with goals, bringing his World Cup journey to an end. This was his first appearance since the opening group‑stage match against Panama, where he played only 45 minutes before a groin injury forced him off, finishing the tournament having played 1.5 matches, making eight total saves while allowing just one goal.
Training well, future role unclear
Ati-Zigi (groin) has returned to training and is reported to be in good shape, with the pain in his groin area gone, though his involvement going forward remains at the discretion of the coaching staff, according to Henry Asante, the Director of Communications for Ghana , per Gary Al-Smith. "He looks very lively. The pain is gone. But from now onwards, the decision lies in the bosom of the coach. Of the coach. Who can play and who cannot play"
Analysis: Lawrence's absence against England was precautionary rather than the result of a serious injury, with the concern centered around his groin area and the risk of aggravating the issue through the demands of goalkeeping, particularly long kicks. With Benjamin Assari performing well as his replacement, goalkeeping coaches Fatal and Dan Gaspar opted to maintain that decision for the following game as well. He is now back in training, looking lively and free of pain, though the decision over whether he features going forward rests entirely with the head coach.
