Ghana U17 female coach Augustine Evans Adotey has revealed eight of his players failed the MRI test ahead of the 2016 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup finals.
Adotey admits this affected his plans as he had to bring in new players for the tournament.
"We are fully prepared except that the time was too short and the problem I encountered was FIFA ruling out 8 of my girls," Adotey said.
"You know talking of this age limit that FIFA came up with, that has affected 8 of my girls so I had to inject few players into certain positions which I’m trying to blend them with the old ones.
"Currently, we are not up to the standard required but trust the girls, we will do our best for Ghana."
