“Feels great to see my colleagues training here and as a captain I needed to come here and support them because I live in Dubai.  I wish I could join them but unfortunately I can’t due to injury”

“I feel bad because this particular game is key in the qualifiers. I was down when I suffered the injury because I was prepared mentally for this and before it happened.”

“I just have to show my support to the players and pray so that we can go and do something better for Ghana.”

“We have quality players in the team and we don’t rely on one player so  I believe they will go as a team and get a positive result”

“The other players are doing well in their clubs and I believe they will prove what they can also do in the match, the Al Ahli forward told www.ghanafa.org.
