The Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association Henry Asante Twum has watered down widely circulated reports that there’s an outbreak of Covid-19 in the camp of the Black Stars in Japan.
Reports in the Ghanaian media on Thursday 9th June, 2022 claimed some players have been infected with Covid-19 and had been ruled out of the Kirin Cup in Japan.
However, Henry Asante speaking on Kumasi-based Oyerepa FM indicated that those reports are not true and the players ruled out are injured.
“We currently have 18 players in the Black Stars camp in Japan. There is no COVID-19 case in our camp as reported in the Media,”
“Gideon Mensah is not with the Black Stars team because of injury. He complained about injury after our game against CAR and the medical team decided to give him some time to rest knowing that he has also had a long season in France.
“Daniel Kofi Kyereh was getting calls from his agent even when the Black Stars team was in Cape Coast. The agent contacted the technical team and they decided to let him go to sort his transfer move out.
“Daniel Afriyie and Christopher Antwi Adjei joined the Black Stars camp on Wednesday and they both trained this morning with the team.”
The Black Stars will play Japan in their opening of the Kirin Cup tournament on Friday before they face Chile and Tunisia later.
