Ghana coach CK Akonnor is confident in his team's ability to hold their own against South Africa in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Thursday despite a setback during their preparations.
The Black Stars are set to play as guests of Bafana Bafana in a Group C fixture in Johannesburg without a host of first team players.
Captain Andre Ayew, Crystal Palace striker Jordan Ayew and Arsenal midfielder Thomas Teye Partey have been ruled out of Thursday's clash because of Covid-19-related restrictions but the likes of Ajax Amsterdam youngster Mohammed Kudus and Chelsea loanee Abdul Rahman Baba have been able to join up with the Black Stars after related earlier uncertainties.
