Black Maidens without key duo ahead of Korea DPR quarter-final clash
Ghana's Black Maidens are without key midfield duo
Rafiatu Alhassan Kulchire and Grace Asantewaaa
ahead of their quarter-final clash against Korea
DPR today.

Alhassan Kulchire has been ruled out due to
illness while Asantewaa is suspended for the clash
after picking yellow cards against USA and
Paraguay.

And head coach Augustine Evans Adotey admits the
absence of the two players is a massive blow.

"It's a big blow and will make my team selection a
bit difficult for the match. But we have a
training session this evening and we will be
looking who will be best to replace them," he told
the Ghana FA's website.

"I believe the any player who will be given an
opportunity to start to tomorrow's match are
capable of putting up a good performance."

The game which will be played at the Al Hassan
Stadium in Irbid, is expected to kick off at 4pm
(1pm Ghana time).
