Ghana’s Black Starlets have arrived in Yamoussoukro with a full complement of players, all fully fit and available for selection ahead of their tournament opener against Togo on Saturday.
Head coach Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum confirmed the encouraging news following the team’s final training session, revealing that his entire squad has reported no injury concerns ahead of the crucial regional competition. This rare advantage provides the technical team with maximum flexibility in tactical planning and player rotation throughout the grueling group stage.
"The boys have shown great commitment and focus in our preparations," Dr. Ogum stated. "Having all players available gives us the opportunity to implement our game plans without limitations and manage the physical demands of tournament football effectively."
The clean bill of health comes at an optimal time for Ghana, who face a compact fixture schedule that sees them playing three group matches within seven days. The physical freshness of the entire squad allows for strategic rotation to maintain high intensity across all matches while reducing the risk of fatigue-related injuries.
The injury-free status also enables Dr. Ogum to utilise his preferred high-intensity training methods in the final preparation phase without concerns about overloading players, ensuring the team arrives at their opening match both tactically sharp and physically prepared.
As the Black Starlets aim to secure qualification for the 2025 U17 Africa Cup of Nations, their physical readiness could prove decisive in a tournament where squad depth and freshness often separate successful teams from early exits.
