A unique debate has emerged ahead of the 2026 World Cup match between Ghana and England after renowned Ghanaian traditional healer Nana Kwaku Bonsam claimed that he is doing everything possible to ensure England captain Harry Kane has minimal influence on the game.
Speaking to the media, Bonsam said he has focused his efforts on the England striker in an attempt to help Ghana achieve a positive result. However, he stressed that he does not wish any serious injury upon Kane, but simply wants to reduce his effectiveness on the pitch on match day.
“I am working on Harry Kane. I have demonstrated my abilities before, so I know what needs to be done to stop him. I do not wish him a serious injury, only something that will prevent him from performing against my country. I will do my part to help Ghana,” Bonsam said.
The remarks have sparked widespread discussion among football fans around the world. Some view them as part of African beliefs and cultural traditions, while others see them as a psychological tactic aimed at increasing pressure ahead of a major international fixture.
Harry Kane enters the match as one of England’s key attacking weapons, thanks to his impressive goal-scoring record in major tournaments. Ghana, meanwhile, is seeking a crucial victory against one of the teams widely regarded as a contender for the 2026 World Cup title.
Despite the healer’s comments, the outcome of the match will ultimately be decided on the field over 90 minutes, where England and Ghana are expected to battle fiercely for valuable points. Many fans believe that player quality, coaching tactics, and team preparation will be the decisive factors in determining the winner of this highly anticipated encounter.
