Former Ghana international Mohammed Polo says the Black Stars will not be forgiven should they allow off-pitch issues to disrupt their focus of winning the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
The Black Stars are one of 24 teams vying to claim gold at the June 21-July 19 championship, where they will face Cameroon, Benin and Guinea-Bissau in the group stage.
The team's departure for a pre-tournament camp in the United Arab Emirates was heralded by a captaincy dispute, which prompted an intervention by Ghana president Nana Akufo-Addo.
