Some Ghanaians on social media have expressed concerns over the treatment of local players in the Black Stars after a video surfaced online showing home-based players being made to carry an ice chest during training.<\/p>\n Many claimed that the video indicated that the local players are not accorded the same respect as the foreign-based players.<\/p>\n Asante Kotoko goalkeeper, Frederick Asare, and Samartex defender, Isaac Afful, were the two players made to carry the chest right after alighting from the team bus.<\/p>\n The two players are the only local players included in Otto Addo’s 25-man squad for the 2025 AFCON qualifiers against Sudan.<\/p>\n The Black Stars held their first training session ahead of the game with 11 players, including some big names like Mohammed Kudus, Mohammed Salisu, Jordan Ayew, Fatawu Issahaku, and a few others.<\/p>\n The second session will have 19 players present following the arrival of 8 more players today, October 8, 2024.<\/p>\n Ghana will face Sudan in a doubleheader, with the first leg slated for October 10 in Accra and the return leg on October 15, 2024, in Libya.<\/p>\n Why didn’t they give the ice chest to the foreign players and gave it to the local players<\/p>\n \u2014 Amodrix \ud83d\uddff (@NhyiraAmoah2) October 7, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Notice how they give the ice chest to the local players in the team\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n \u2014 Omar \ud83d\udc51\ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udf40 (@TerkpeteyDugba1) October 7, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Why are they giving the ice chest to only the local players what is that guy standing at the bus gate doing .<\/p>\n \u2014 Nana Sarpong Asante (@Nanakaa1957) October 7, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Aziz should be carrying those ice-chest coolers. \ud83d\ude21 https:\/\/t.co\/Lkho4pkwws<\/p>\n \u2014 Felix Romark (@FelixRomark) October 7, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n So it\u2019s just the local players that\u2019ll be tasked to carry ice chest?
