The Black Starlets of Ghana have been hit with some bad news after Adams Saad and Emmanuel Bio were disqualified from participating in the qualifiers for the Africa Juvenile Championship after failing MRI scans.
The duo has been a key cog of Coach Karim Zito's team as they prepare for the qualifiers of the Africa Juvenile championship.
The two attackers have been involved in most of the goals in all the friendly matches of the Black Starlets either by scoring or assisting.
This is seen as a big blow to Ghana U-17 team who are also preparing for the U-17 WAFU Cup of nations.
Coach Abdul Karim Zito must now find replacements for these players before departing for the tournament to be staged in Niger on Monday.
He will name a 25-man squad for the trip but will be required to make a final cut to the required 21 for the competition.
The Black Starlets will take on Niger and Togo in the group phase of the tournament.
