The team which had been camping in Ghana for the last one week prior to the trip to Rabat, Morocco seemed to have been hit with the alleged sacking of Thomas Partey for disciplinary reasons but officials have told GhanaWeb that the team is focused on the task ahead.
On Monday news went rife that Partey had been sacked from the Ghana team for arriving later and without permission.
According to officials, the team has put the incident behind it and will switch all attention to the game tonight.
