Ghana defender Jonathan Mensah is of the view that Group D which has the Black Stars, the Cranes of Uganda, Mali and the Pharoahs of Egypt is the toughest and will require hard work to break through.<\/p>\n
The Stars who had a slippery start to their World Cup qualifiers will get another bite of the cherry against the Cranes in Gabon.<\/p>\n
Alongside the Cranes, the Stars will test themselves against the\u00a0Pharoahs of Egypt who are the record holders of the Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n
Mali, who are undergoing a renaissance of a sort, make up the group and Jonathan Mensah who is expected to be on the plane to Gabon says it\u2019s the toughest they could have been in.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the toughest group in the coming AFCON and the technical team have to start some monitoring on the other teams,\u201d Mensah told Citi Sports.<\/p>\n
He went on: \u201cWe have to prepare towards every game with a different approach and some new determination in other to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n
