Black Queens lose goalie Asantewaa and defender Regina Antwi for Bayana Bayana clash

Ghana duo Nana Ama Asantewaa and  Regina Antwi have been ruled out Friday's Africa Women Cup of Nations third-placed playoff against South Africa.

Goalkeeper Asantewaa suffered an injury in the semi-final defeat to host Cameroon on Tuesday.

In her absence, Patricia Mantey will be handed the opportunity for the role  between the sticks.

Antwi, a defender, is also out injured and her place could be taken over by Cynthia Adobea.

Head coach Yusif Basigi can rely on Rosemary Ampem, Linda Eshun, Janet Egyir, Juliet Acheampong, Mary Essiful, Princilla Saahene, Elizabeth Addo and Samira Suleman.
