Injuries hit Black Meteors camp

Striker Bismark Idan has left the national U-23 camp following a foot injury sustained over the weekend.

Co-striker Gilbert Fiamenyo and midfielder Latif Salifu also failed to train on Tuesday due to various degrees of injury.


Samuel Afum got a heavy strapping on his toe before being able to train but was clearly in some sort of discomfort during the session.


Fiamenyo would visit the hospital for further checks on a hip injury also sustained over the weekend. This notwithstanding, team Physio Lt. Col. Ofosu-Anim Rtd insists the injury situation in camp is under control.

“Generally, the boys are fit except for a few knocks here and there which is normal with a contact game like football,” he told GHANAsoccernet.com.


“Idan had a slight injury which we were in the process of treating but he opted to go home for traditional treatment.”


“These are very minor injuries which does not warrant any serious treatments but I can assure you we are on top of issues here.”
