Given his career, Benjamin Tetteh should be making a difference in Slovenia. It’s no surprise that fans of Maribor were thrilled when he signed for the purple team. However, it seems it will still be a while before the 27-year-old forward is ready to play in the jersey of the Styrian giant. Today’s match against Celje awaits Maribor, but Ante Šimundža revealed before the trip to the city of the dukes that Benjamin Tetteh is not yet ready to play, not even by coincidence. What’s worse, he’s not the only one in this situation.
Maribor will therefore definitely play the Styrian derby without captain Martina Milca and the experienced Hillal Soudani, who continues to recover from a thigh injury. “Aside from the youth players who traveled for the UEFA Youth League match, all the players who were available on Sunday are also candidates for this game. Milec, Soudani, and Tetteh are unfortunately still far from ready, and there are no complications from potential new injuries. It is very important for the team’s confidence that we face the next match after a victory in the previous one,” Ante Šimundža said before the clash with Albert Riera’s squad.
It’s not surprising that Benjamin Tetteh, a 7-time Ghanaian international, is not yet ready. In 2024, he has played only a handful of games, spending most of his time sidelined at Metz. It’s also been a long time since the forward, born in Accra, last scored. His last goal was when he was still with Hull City, and it has actually been more than a year and a half since his goal against West Bromwich Albion…
