Head coach for the Black Galaxies, Annor Walker is hoping to welcome the two key players of his team, Daniel Afriyie Barnieh and Danlad Ibrahim.
The Black Stars duo are currently in town after Ghana’s World Cup exit in Qatar. They were part of the 26 players who represented the country at the Mundial.
Barnieh’s absence from the CHAN team remains unknown but Danlad is ill and has been admitted to the hospital after the World Cup as revealed by Annor Walker in an interview with the GFA communications.
“Barnie and Danlad are already part of the team before they were invited to the Black Stars to travel to Qatar for the World Cup and I am told they are in town. But this morning, I heard Danlad is ill and has been admitted to the hospital. So seriously, I am expecting them to report to camp when Danlad is okay. For Barnie I don’t know about his condition but I am expecting them to join us here so that we can all work together before we move outside Ghana,”
Danlad and Barnieh have been sidelined for the team’s test match against Accra Hearts of Oak on Sunday at the Ghanaman Soccer Center of Excellence in Prampram.
They were instrumental in the Black Galaxies qualification to the CHAN after beating Nigeria in the final round of qualifiers.
The Hearts of Oak star was the leading top scorer in the qualifiers and Ibrahim Danlad was the first-choice goalkeeper for the team.
