Appiah declares himself fit

Space Fm is reliably informed that Black Stars' skipper, Stephen Appiah has declared himself fit for today's crucial encounter with Zimbabwe in the on-going CAN 2006 in Egypt.

A source at the Stars' camp however thinks it'll be unwise for the skipper to risk his injured foot, since he has not fully recovered.

Yes, Appiah says he's ready to play today, but we're concerned about his injury, he's not fully fit, the source told Space FM.

The Black Stars of Ghana this afternoon engage their Zimbabwean counterparts in a make-or-break encounter.
