Covid-19: Ghana women's U17 coach Nuhu provides update for Nigeria showdown

Ghana U17 women's coach Baba Nuhu believes the team's health and safety are under control despite their coronavirus challenges upon the camp's resumption for the 2021 World Cup qualifiers.

On special permission of Ghana president Nana Akufo-Addo, the Black Maidens regrouped for camp last week despite a standing ban on all contact sports, including football, ahead of games against archrivals Nigeria.

The U17 side, jointly in camp with the U20 women's team, was hit by a setback as a total of seven players were confirmed positive for Covid-19 when the two outfits underwent testing as part of safety protocols for camp resumption.
