Elmina Sharks captain Daniel Obeng Crentsil has revealed his frustration at having not playing football for the past six months.
Football has been on suspension since March following the outbreak of the virus, which has claimed 261 lives in Ghana. The suspension by the government forced the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to cancel the 2019/20 season.
"We’ve missed football because it is part of our lives. This is where we mostly derive our joy from when playing but now it’s no more," he told GNA Sports.
"It’s very frustrating not playing since March. This is the career we’ve chosen and feed our families from. We get bonuses when we’re playing but now it’s no more because of COVID.
Although frustrated, the midfielder agrees with the decision to suspend football. According to Crenstil, adequate measures must be put in place before the game resumes.
The GFA have set sights on starting the 2020/21 season in October.
"However our safety is of much concern to us. We can’t risk our lives to play football when measures are not put in place. Adequate measures must be put in place before we restart Football in the country."
The midfielder joined Sharks in April this year and has previously played for WAFA and New Edubiase.
