0 Ghana defender Mohammed Salisu has urged his teammates to take their preparations seriously as they gear up to face Mali.
The Black Stars will play the Eagles in a 2026 World Cup Group I qualifier on Thursday, June 6.
Nearly all the players called up by Coach Otto Addo are already in camp, preparing for the game. The four-time African champions held an open training session at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium on Friday.

“We just need to train day by day [because] it is not going to be easy with Mali. They have a strong team and I think we need to prepare for this game,” he stated.
