Black Stars head coach Chris Hughton has explained the reason why he excluded striker Antoine Semenyo in Ghana’s goalless draw with Namibia.
According to the Irish trainer, the AFC Bournemouth man was under the weather for the pre-tournament friendly.
“Semenyo was ill. He couldn’t train yesterday. We were monitoring to see how he was today and there was no change today so that excluded him from the game.”
He provided another injury update on defensive midfielder Abdul Salis Samed saying: “Salis picked up a knock in training which meant that he couldn’t be involved with the squad.”
Meanwhile, Mohammed Kudus has touched down in Kumasi and joined his teammates in camp.
Ghana is expected to fly to Cote D’Ivoire on Wednesday, January 10.
