Black Stars management ignored players’ health conditions ahead of Gambia game – Ernest Thompson alleges

Former Black Stars Management Committee member, Ernest Thompson, has accused the team’s management of ignoring players' health conditions prior to Ghana's loss to Gambia. Thompson suggested that the management committee did not review medical assessments conducted by the team's medical staff before finalizing the player list. During an interview on Joy FM's Super Morning Show following the match on Tuesday, September 29, Thompson claimed that the management committee distanced themselves from the final list, saying, "We don’t have anything to do with this list."

This, he argued, undermined the team's performance in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, where Ghana lost 4-2 to Gambia after leading 2-0. Thompson described the national team as being in disarray and attributed its struggles to leadership failures.
