Frimpong declares himself fit for Sudan World Cup qualifier
Posted On Tuesday, 19th March 2013
New Ghana midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong has declared himself fit to play in Sunday’s World Cup qualifier against Sudan in Kumasi despite doubts over his fitness.
The Fulham player says he will be ready to train with the Black Stars for the first time on Tuesday when they start training for the match in Accra.
The ex-England youth international’s debut for Ghana on Sunday was in serious doubt after picking up a groin injury late last week.
His absence in Fulham’s famous 1-0 victory at White Hart Lane over the weekend cast doubts over availability for the Black Stars.
But the midfielder, who arrived in Ghana on Monday night, says he will be ready to play in the match against the Nile Crocodiles in Kumasi on Sudan insisting he will be fine.
“The coach called me this morning and asked me about the injury. I told him I have got a little groin injury but hopefully tomorrow I should be fine to train,” Frimpong told reporters on his arrival in the country on Monday night.
Frimpong switched nationality last year from England to enable him play for his country of birth.
His availability is a boost for Ghana after youngster Christian Atsu was ruled out of the game because of injury.

Now this is a player (employee) who is serious about his work. I hope all players and workers in Ghana are watching. This is the attitude you want to see. Players who want to on the field at all costs. This is the real issue and this is what Coach Appiah is looking to generate. This is a job and if the employees are not into the job, things will fall apart.
Great point anokwale. B.S only need players who are proud and ready to play for their nation no matter the situations. That is what I call sacrifice! And that is a win – win for all…players gain experience, recognition and get paid! country becomes popular, attract investors and even make some profit if a major trophy is won – that is with proper management.
I really admire his confidence and positive attitude.
And they cried “Hosanna”, “Hosanna”, a few days later they shouted louder and louder , “Crusify him”, “crusify him”!!! Atsu should have reported so that the medical team would can make their own picture whether he is really injured and can’t play, abi i no be sooo??? I’m sure they can get him fit before the match, abi?!?!?!
That is football. Fans will praise players when praising time comes and like wise will criticize players when players have to be criticized.

I am sure frimpong will notice the rot and mismanagement at the gfa and will voice out in the interest of the nation cas that is part of patriotism. Wellcome frimpong , may u have an injury free season and may u help Ghana qualify to Brazil. Always be prepared to know how Ghanaians are, like someone said earlier on, they will praise u and crucify u anytime something goes wrong. Ghanaians are ungrateful
