Ghana female goalkeeper Patricia Mantey is in doubt to be in the post as the Black Queens face Cameroon in the final round of Group A at the ongoing 2018 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations on Friday.


Mantey had some knocks during the pre-friendly matches against Kenya according to Coach Bashir Hayford.

He said Mantey aggravated her knock during the penalty instance against Mali and that the Black Queens number one is a major doubt for the must-win clash against Cameroon.

 “The goalkeeper [Mantey] had some knocks before we came down from Kenya,” Hayford told reported on Thursday.

“Out of the three goalkeepers she is the number one and there is no doubt about that. The medical team have done a good job on her.

“In the last game, with the penalty, she got a knock on her hand and as at now, she is 60% fit. I can’t tell if she will be in the post or not for tomorrow, we will wait until the final training to decide.”

Coach Bashir Hayford have Nana Ama Asantewaa and Fafali Dumahisi to select as the goalkeeper against Cameroon should Mantey fail to recover on time.

Ghana will face Cameroon in their last encounter in the group phase at 16:00 GMT at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday.
