Parma harbour fear for Acquah in Africa over Ebola

Parma have given their Ghanaian midfielder Afriyie Acquah express health guidelines to follow while on international duty with the Black Stars following the Ebola epidemic in Africa.

Acquah is part of a 23-man Ghana squad in Uganda as the west Africans face off with the Cranes Saturday in a penultimate 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

The Emilia-Romagna side confirmed Thursday they have given the Ghanaian some guidelines courtesy the Italian Ministry of Health which will help him return with a clean bill of health.

Goal understands the same guidelines have also been given to Algerian striker Ishak Belfodil who will lead Algeria against Ethiopia.

The deadly disease which has ravaged three west African countries – Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea – has killed over 5000 people this year.
