Covid-19: Asante Kotoko captain Annan admits difficulty in resuming Ghana Premier League

Asante Kotoko goalkeeper Felix Annan concedes the chances of the suspended Ghana Premier League making a prompt return have been dealt a major blow by the extension of a national ban on football on Sunday.

In his latest nation's address, president Nana Akufo-Addo announced all contact sports, including football, remain suspended until July 31 as part of measures to curb the spread of the deadly coronavirus disease.

All football competitions, including the Premier League, have been at a standstill since a ban on public gatherings came into force on March 15.
