Jordan Ayew: Ghana FA responds after Crystal Palace striker gets the coronavirus

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has stated it did not compromise on Covid-19 safety protocols during the Black Stars recent international friendly matches against Mali and Qatar after about six players tested positive for the disease on their return to their clubs.

Crystal Palace striker Jordan Ayew is the latest to have been confirmed to have contracted the virus, a situation which forced him out of the club's Premier League meeting with Brighton and Hove Albion on Sunday.

Besiktas midfielder Bernard Mensah was the first to be announced positive.
