Ghana defender Harrison Afful must past a late fitness test ahead of Columbus Crewââ¬â¢s game against New York City FC on Wednesday night.
Afful has been training with Columbus for about two weeks, traveling with the team to Colorado despite not making the game-day roster and training privately with coaches during the rest of the rosterââ¬â¢s bye-week break.
But the Ghanaian is hoping to be fit for game against New York City.
ââ¬ÅIââ¬â¢m getting my fitness back,â⬠he said. ââ¬ÅIââ¬â¢ve been working a lot; so far, so good. So Iââ¬â¢m just praying and hoping that Iââ¬â¢ll make my debut Wednesday.ââ¬
The 29-year-old joined Crews in July after ending his four-year stint with Tunisian side Esperance.
