Black Starlets head coach, Paa Kwesi Fabin, has debunked media reports stating that members of the team had been hit with illness.<\/p>\n
On Monday, several reports made the rounds that a number of the Starlets’ playing body had been hit with illness suspected to be malaria or cholera.<\/p>\n
The reports stated that the team was in a fix ahead of their semi-final against Niger in the ongoing African U17 Championships in Gabon on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
However, Fabin said at the official pre-match press conference on Tuesday that, the reports were false.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me correct an erroneous impression. There is no cholera in our camp as I speak. So, those stories are not correct.<\/p>\n
The players have been preparing and they trained yesterday and you can come to the Sogara training facility later today to see all of them training. \u00a0Those reports are false.\u201d<\/p>\n
The team will be facing Niger for the third time in some months and Fabin is hoping for a good match.<\/p>\n
Ghana and Niger played twice against each other in Accra in two friendly matches and Fabin is aware of the knowledge the teams have about each other.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know them fairly well and they also know us. So, I believe it will be a very interesting match. We played them twice in Accra before flying to Gabon so we know about each other.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Ghana face Niger in the first semi-final in Port Gentil, Mali and Guinea play against each other in Libreville.<\/p>\n
