The Black Stars are bottom on the Group C table
Ghana’s plays Gabon in their next game
Captain of the Gabonese national team, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has tested negative for the Coronavirus pandemic and is ready to face the Black Stars of Ghana.
The former Arsenal captain missed Gabon’s opening game at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations against debutants Comoros after testing positive for the virus upon their arrival in Cameroon.
The Panthers of Gabon won their opening game by a lone goal against Comoros to go top of the Group C table but will need their talisman against the Black Stars team who are hoping to appease Ghanaians after losing to Morocco in their opening game.
Coach Patrice Neveu has now gotten the good news he desires as the striker has now tested negative to the Coronavirus which ruled him out of the game.
“Aubameyang has returned a negative Covid test and trained with his national team. The Gabon captain will now be available for their tie against Ghana on Friday,” Mimi Fawaz posted on her Twitter page.
