Black Galaxies coach Annor Walker gives update on Afriyie Barnieh and Danlad Ibrahim ahead of 2023 CHAN tournament

Head Coach of the Black Galaxies Annor Walker has disclosed that influential duo Daniel Afriyie Barnieh and Ibrabim Danlad will team up with the rest of the squad at the Ghanaman Soccer Center in Prampram in the coming days.

Daniel Afriyie Barnieh and Ibrabim Danlad are part of Ghana’s provisional squad for the 2022 TotalEnergies African Nations Championship (CHAN) to be played in Algeria from Friday, January 13 to Saturday, February 4, 2023.

However, they are yet to report to camp due to their involvement with the senior national team, the Black Stars at the 2022 World Cup currently taking place in place in Qatar.

Opening up on when the duo will join the local national team in camp after Ghana’s exit from the group stages of the World Cup, head coach, Annor Walker said:

“Barnieh and Danlad are already part of the team before they were invited to the Black Stars to travel to Qatar for the World Cup and I am told they are town. But this morning, I heard Danlad is ill and has been admitted at the hospital. So seriously, I am expecting them to report to camp, when Danlad is okay, said Annor Walker as quoted by Ghanafa.org.

“For Barnie I don’t know about his condition but I am expecting them to join us here so that we can all work together before we move outside Ghana,” he added.

Meanwhile, the Black Galaxies came from a goal down to beat Accra Hearts of Oak 2-1 in a friendly encounter in Prampram earlier today.

Hearts of Oak went into the halftime break a goal up through Amankwaah Baafi, before Bright Adjei and David Abagna scored in the second half for the Black Galaxies.
