Black Galaxies coach, Annor Walker, says Daniel Afriyie Barnieh’s red card against Sudan at the 2022 African Nations Championship (CHAN) is unfortunate for the team.
Having scored from a spot-kick, the 22-year-old was sent off in the 90th minute of the game for a reckless challenge on his marker.
Speaking at the end of the game, Walker said it’s unfortunate they will be without the 21-year-old for the next round but he is optimistic he will have a replacement available.
“It’s unfortunate Afriyie Barnieh got the red card. He’s one of my top strikers,” he said.
“But I came with 25 players so I will have a replacement to play in the quarterfinals stage and after that, he can be in action.”
Ghana is second in the group with six points after two games, tied with group leaders Madagascar, and Sudan is third with three points.
