Denis Mirpuri, a former journalist with Joy FM also tweeted: “Black Stars finally arrive in Cameroon for #AFCON2021. Good to see Kamaldeen and Kudus, 2 of the 17 Black Stars #AFCON debutants in camp.
“All we hope for now is that no player or coach should test positive for Covid, as it could have devastating effects on our campaign.”
