Ghana Coach, Avram Grant, has reiterated the difficulty he is facing in not having his substantive captain Asamoah Gyan and his deputy, Dede Ayew, both unavailable for the clash against Russia, as their strong character as leaders will be missed.
Both players, who are missing from the Stars’ line-up, have sustained various forms of injury which have prevented them from playing in the match against Rwanda last Saturday and against Russia which will be played today.
After their last training session before the match against Russia, Grant said; “It’s not easy to play without your two captains, but in these qualifiers, we have played a few games without them.
“I want them to be fit, but they are not fit, and it’s unfortunate. I hope they can be able to join us, going into the future.”
Grant will be hoping to have his two captains back when they face the Cranes of Uganda on the 2nd of October in the first match of a double header 2018 World Cup qualifier before an anticipated tough encounter with the Pharaohs of Egypt (6th October).
The match will kick-off at the Otkrytie Arena in Moscow, at exactly 16:00hrs GMT.
