General Captain of the Black Stars John Mensah says Coach Akwasi Appiah has a solution to the team�s defensive worries. The Black Stars head into next Tuesdays World Cup qualifier against Egypt with a number of key absentees. Defenders Isaac Vorsah, John Boye and Jonathan Mensah are all ruled out of the crucial game due to injuries. This has given the technical handlers a lot to worry about leading up to a game which is against one of the finest on the continent. There were calls for a shakeup in the team�s defensive unit after the last group game against Zambia at the Baba Yara sports stadium, a game the Stars won 2-1 to qualify to the playoffs. �I know Akwasi Appiah to be an experienced Coach and will therefore be prepared for such a situation. He has played the game before and knows what it involves� the former Olympique Lyon defender told XYZ Sports in an interview. �I am sure he had a plan B when he was even calling the 25 man squad for this game and was probably expecting any surprises in terms of last minute injuries which usually happen in football� Mensah added �I believe those who have been called up to command the defensive unit, will excel and make us all proud� �I am sure the senior players in the team will motivate them and make them feel comfortable�. �I am very confident in the team we have and I am sure the defenders will do their job at the back very well�.
