Hearts of Oak staff and players will undergo another round of tests this morning following the outbreak of severe flu in camp which prompted the intervention of the Ghana Health Service (GHS)

This led to the postponement of their match week 30 encounter against Eleven Wonder over the weekend.

The GHS released a statement to confirm their preliminary investigations revealed the outbreak of an H3N2 virus, a type of Swine Flu and subsequently recommended a 7-day isolation for the affected players and staff.

"The next test is on Friday morning at 10am, and after that, depending on the results, the Ghana Health Service will advise us on the next line of action," Communications Director of the club, Opare Add told Citi Sports.

Before the matchday 29 game against Bibiani Gold Stars, some players of the Phobians were admitted at the hospital and were discharged ahead of the game at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Hearts of Oak are 4th on the league table with 47 points after 29 matches played so far.
