Black Stars return to Ghana after crashing out of AFCON

Distraught players of the Ghana Black Stars have arrived in the country following a disappointing run at the ongoing African Cup of Nations.

Perhaps to evade the prying eyes of the media and disappointed supporters, the players who arrived Wednesday dawn together with GFA officials were received by few family members and friends.

The team departed their base in Ismailia for the Cairo International Airport on

Wednesday.

The team travelled without Andy Yiadom and Caleb Ekuban who have already left

for London and Milan respectively to their parent clubs.

Ghana crashed out of the 2019 African Cup of Nations tournament on Monday after losing 5-4 on penalties to Tunisia in the Round of 16 following a 1-1 draw in 120 minutes.

The Black Stars performance this year is their worse since 2006, having reached the semifinal stage successively.
