Yahaya Says Ghana Will Cope In His Absence

Yahaya Mohammed believes his absence will not be hard to grasp as Ghana head into a decisive Group C game against Ethiopia on Tuesday at the CHAN. The attacker, whose goal handed Ghana a share of the spoils in the 1-1 draw with Libya is suspended for the final group game. Yahaya, who capped a great goal with the Orange man-of-the-match award received his second successive yellow card of the competition thus ruling him out of the decisive match. "Everybody can play," the Asante Kotoko player told www.ghanafa.org. And he doesn't believe his absence sends any warning to Ghana chances of progressing from the group stages as Maxwell Konadu's side and Libya are joint-top on four points apiece while Congo remain third and a point behind. "We have so many strikers including Seidu Bancey and Paul Asare. They are all capable of playing just that we cannot all play at the same time. I have belief in them that they can do it coming Tuesday," Yahaya said. Yahaya, is however optimistic the team will achieve the right result against the Ethiopians but expects a tough contest. "We are so confident and we are so determined because we know Ethiopia is a very good side. It's unfortunate they lost their first two games. We are going all out and we are not going to underrate them [because] they have lost two matches," he added.
