The Black Stars will have to plan life without the services of the players plying their trade in United Kingdom due to Covid-19 restrictions
Ghana coach Charles Kwablah Akonnor will have to deploy a new plan ahead of the Black Stars’ 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers against Zimbabwe in October, AshesGyamera.com understands.
The Black Stars will host Zimbabwe at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium on October 5 before they travel to Harare for the return encounter four days later in Harare but with Zimbabwe being named among countries on the red flag of United Kingdom’s radar, a lot of the players will likely miss the trip.
Key players like Daniel Amartey, Abdul Baba Rahman, Andy Yiadom, Jordan Ayew and Jeffrey Schlupp are expected to miss the double header just like they could not travel to Johannesburg to take part of the game against South Africa on Monday.
Others may include new boys Daniel Kofi Kyereh and Brydou Manu who also play in Germany as well as Kamaldeen Sulemana who plays for Stade Rennes in France.
As a result, underfire coach C.K Akonnor is expected to work around the clock to get some top local players to complement those who will be readily available in order to grind results.
Ghana’s defeat to South Africa in the second game of the group has left them in second place, tied on the same points with Ethiopia and would need to double their efforts before they can reclaim top spot from South Africa
