Some Ghanaians on social media have expressed concerns over the treatment of local players in the Black Stars after a video surfaced online showing home-based players being made to carry an ice chest during training.
Many claimed that the video indicated that the local players are not accorded the same respect as the foreign-based players.
Asante Kotoko goalkeeper, Frederick Asare, and Samartex defender, Isaac Afful, were the two players made to carry the chest right after alighting from the team bus.
The two players are the only local players included in Otto Addo’s 25-man squad for the 2025 AFCON qualifiers against Sudan.
The Black Stars held their first training session ahead of the game with 11 players, including some big names like Mohammed Kudus, Mohammed Salisu, Jordan Ayew, Fatawu Issahaku, and a few others.
The second session will have 19 players present following the arrival of 8 more players today, October 8, 2024.
Ghana will face Sudan in a doubleheader, with the first leg slated for October 10 in Accra and the return leg on October 15, 2024, in Libya.
