Brief facts of the Black Stars

The Black Stars thumped their Mauritius counterpart 7 – 1 in Accra in the first qualifier and the team needs to avoid defeat today to remain at the summit of the log.

The last time the two sides met in Kigali in 2003, the Amavubi won the game 1-0 preventing the Black Stars from qualifying for the tournament in 2004.

Skipper of the team Asamoah Gyan is a major doubt because of his fitness issues.

Coach Avram Grant is expected to hand Swansea star Andre Ayaw the armband should Gyan miss out this afternoon.
