Published on: 12 August 2020

Legon Cities shot stopper Fatau Dauda insists goalkeepers are the ones to be heavily affected by the absence of football due to COVID-19.

All football activities including the Ghana Premier League has been suspended following the outbreak of the coronavirus in the West African state.

Players have been engaged in individual training, but Dauda insists it takes more than just personal practices to be in top shape.

“It is very difficult training without playing games, especially if your are a goalkeeper," says the experienced goalkeeper.

"You may end up loosing your reflexes, so if you don’t improvise and adjust by training on your own, it will be difficult," he added.

The return of the Ghana Premier League is yet to be decided, despite the FA's proposal to start in the second week of October.

The decision will be subjected to a government medical approval.

The 2019/20 Ghana Premier League was cancelled after it's suspension in March this year.
