Coronavirus: Ghanaian Footballers Urged To Stay Discipline

Aduana Stars striker, Yahaya Mohammed has urged his teammates to stay discipline and maintain their fitness during the football break caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Ghanaian footballers have been home for over three months following the coronavirus outbreak in the country.

Football in the country has been suspended indefinitely with a final decision expected to be made on June 30.

According to former Asante Kotoko forward, the break period has affected players in diverse ways and it will take only those who are professionals to get back into shape when the league restarts.

“This is the time players have to be disciplined by training as professional players," he told Asempa FM.

"They do not have to wait before football restarts before they start to train.

"If football starts that is where we will see those who are professionals.

He also appealed to the government to ease restrictions on football clubs and allow them to begin training.

“We hope the government can allow teams to begin training by adhering to the protocols, but for us playing games that one should be put on hold for now”.

Yahaya Mohammed is among Ghanaian footballers who have joined the call for the current season to be truncated amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The 33-year-old urged the Ghana Football Association to crown Aduana Stars league champions if the season is cancelled.

The GFA will make a decision on the future of the league on June 30.
