Henry Asante claims all players will undergo mandatory Covid-19 test before football resumes

Ghana Football Association, Communication Director Henry Asante Twum has disclosed that all players will be tested before the football finally resumes in October.

After a marathon of meeting, the Executive Council of the GFA cancelled the 2019/20 football season due to coronavirus pandemic.

Speaking to GTV Sports Plus in an interview, Henry Asante assured that all players will undergo a mandatory test before the next season starts as part of measures to help curb the spread of the virus.

"A number of scenarios have been considered; obviously, we cannot play without testing the players. The CAF medical team issued a statement sent to all member associations that before football begins, testing has become mandatory," he said.

"The government’s COVID-19 advisory team, according to Mr Twum, is “in touch with the FA", adding that the “medical team of the football association is looking at a few possibilities or options”.

"So, testing the players is going to happen for both men and women."
