Sudan vs Ghana: Andre Ayew absence a problem – Akonnor

Ghana coach Charles Akonnor says missing captain Andre Ayew in the team’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Sudan is a problem. 

The Stars face the Falcons of Jediane at the Al Hilal Stadium in Omdurman Tuesday.

“First of all, he is the leader of the team and so if you don’t have your leader, it’s always a problem but these guys are professionals.

“They have been in Europe for quite sometime now, they are doing well so they know what to do,” Akonnor told the team’s media.

“With a bit of guidance from the technical team, I think they will be able to do well. He (Andre) is not in and so it won’t be necessary for us to talk about it.

“Yes, we have lost him, he delivered, he gave us two goals the other day. But now he is no more there and so we have to deal with it and strategically we will find a way as to how we will play and get success.”

Deputy skipper and first choice goalkeeper Richard Ofori will also miss the match.
