Henry Asante Twum, the Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has disclosed that coach Chris Hughton has pledged to improve the performance of the Black Stars.
In recent times, the performance of the Black Stars has been strongly questioned having succumbed to back-to-back defeats to Mexico and USA in their international friendly games last month.
According to Asante Twum, the former Brighton and Hove Albion manager has admitted that the West Africa powerhouse has not been pulling the needed results due to various reasons but promised to improve the performance of the team.
“When Chris Hughton met the Executive Council, he gave reasons why the team has not been performing. He is aware that the team has not been good,” he said in an interview with Asempa FM as monitored by Kickgh.com.
“He told the ExCO that after the World Cup in Qatar, he has not been able to get the full complement of the team. Mohammed Salisu, Kofi Kyereh, and other key players have been out due to various degrees of injuries.
“When we play at Kumasi we struggle to win games because of the lack of first-team players in the squad.
“Even in the game against Mexico and the USA, you could see the players that were invited but above all, he has assured the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the ExCO that he will improve the results and get the needed results,” he added.
Ghana will face Madagascar in their first Group I game at the Baba Yara Stadium on Friday, November 17 before jetting out to Comoros for the second match on November 21, 2023.
