Ibrahim Tanko has revealed that the technical bench of the team will meet to deliberate what’s ahead of Ghana, following CAF decision to disqualify Sierra Leone from participating in 2019 Africa cup of Nations qualifiers.

“We are going to meet as a technical team to see the way forward of effects awaiting” We must win our last game against Kenya at home, then we can avoid all these calculations if it’s two teams to make it from our group,” he told Joy FM.

“We will be through if one slot after beating them and that’s the main thing to concentrate on because we never know what will come”, he added.

Group F members stand dismay as how many slots will be given to the group for next year tournament.
