The Spanish coach further added that the players that will make the final team will have to step up and fill the void.

Now, we will see, we have to get the most from the players that we have. I still believe no matter what the final selection is, Ghana is always going to be one of the candidates. And sooner rather than later, we’re going to be seeing them become champions of Africa.” Nus also waded in on which countries he thought will progress from the group.

In my opinion, Ghana and Morocco should go through from the Afcon group. I think that even though Gabon and Comoros have important players, they’re not up to the same level than the other two.” Continued the former assistant coach.
