Ghana midfielder Anthony Annan says he has not fully recovered from an injury he picked up during the team�s pre-Nations Cup friendly against Egypt.
The Osasuna midfielder twisted his ankle during the game in Abu Dhabi and has since struggled to be fit.
The 26-year-old was thrown into the country's opener against DR Congo but failed to make any significant impact.
But the former Schalke 04 has player says he is not 100% fit.
�I am not 100% fit. I am working on my fitness level and hopefully, I should be in line against Mali,� Annan said
�The team�s medics are doing a great job and in no time I expect to be fully fit without any problems.�
�We�re disappointed with the result but we must understand DR Congo is also a good side and played well.
�We need to go back to the drawing board to see where we went wrong. But I�m confident we�ll bounce back.�
Ghana will play Mali in their secnd group B game on Thursday.
