Chelsea’s Essien picked up a knee injury in training on Sunday.

“We still don’t know the extent of the injury but he won’t be available for the next game, it’s official,” Randy Abbey said on Monday.

Ghana, who started their campaign with a 3-1 defeat by Ivory Coast, must beat Burkina if they are to qualify for the quarter-finals.
