Columbus Crew coach Porter provides injury return date for Ghana star Afful

Ghana have received an injury boost ahead of the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt as injured US-based fullback Harrison Afful is set to resume training by the end of the month.

The Columbus Crew right-back has been out of action since suffering a broken jaw during a Major Soccer League game against Atlanta United on March 30.

A return to practice before the end of the month will put him in a good position to be selected for the June 21 - July 19 Afcon, where the Black Stars have been drawn against Cup holders Cameroon, as well as Benin and Guinea-Bissau in Group F.
