AFCON 2019 qualifiers: Ghana Coach Kwesi Appiah Relying On Foreign-Based Stars

Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah says his side cannot afford to drop points against Ethiopia on Sunday in their Group F 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

The Black Satellites were not in action last month because of the postponement of the double header against Sierra Leone who were banned by FIFA.

In September, they lost 1-0 to Kenya in Nairobi and are now third in the Group on three points, four below leaders Kenya

Appiah has fortified his squad by recalling the Ayew brothers and Asamoah Gyan to boost his chances of returning ways.

“It’s important to get a win to make sure we qualify then everybody will relax,” coach Kwesi Appiah told Nation Sport after the session.

“All our players play abroad where they come fully prepared, knowing the situation, it’s psychologically important to let them know we are going out for a win on Sunday.
