The casualty list of invited Black Stars players seem to be growing by the day, first Mubarak Wakaso was operated on after sustaining a hand injury for his club and is a doubt to play for the Black Stars in their double header against South Africa and Sao Tome and Principe.

Latest to suffer an injury concern is U.S based full back Harrison Afful who has withdrawn from the squad.

Harrison Afful has been ruled out of Ghana's matches against South Africa and Sao Tome and principe.

The good news about these injury casualties is that it has opened doors of opportunities for other local players as the Black Stars coach Kwasi Appiah and his technical team are combing the local scene to get adequate replacements for these injured duo.

So far Mubarak Wakaso and Harrison Afful are a doubt for the Afcon double header game which will be played next week.
