Twenty-two Ghanaian players have been stranded in Ethiopia due to the closure of the borders as part of measures by the government to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
The Ghanaian footballers who were supposed to return to the country for holidays as the 2019/20 Ethiopian league was cancelled are still stuck in the country as Ghana’s borders have been closed due to the pandemic.
The players led by former Black Stars defender Lee Addy are calling on the Ghana government to come to their aid.
According to reports, the Ghana Football Association is liaising with the Sports Ministry to convey the players back home.
