Avram Grant blames poor Accra pitch for recent spate of injuries

Ghana coach Avram Grant has blamed the poor playing surface in Accra as the chief reason for the numerous injuries suffered by his players during a recent Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

The former Chelsea coach was forced to substitute three of his key men - Mubarak Wakaso, Frank Acheampong, and John Boye during Ghana's 3-1 win over Mozambique last week.

The trio picked up knocks and the 60-year-old has blamed the poor pitch at the Accra stadium for their woes.

“The bad pitch caused the injuries to the players. Again, we have no physical trainer which is a big source of worry," he said

“The players always do their best despite this hindrances and I am proud of them."
