Flying Eagles player, Usman Hassan Saleh, was injured after the national U20 team got involved in a slight bus crash at the main gate of the Tema Sports Stadium on Wednesday, Goal.com can report.
Manu Garba’s lads had defeated the Ghana U20 team 2-0 in an international friendly and were returning to their M Plaza Hotel residence when the VIP Marcopolo bus conveying the team crashed into the main gate of the stadium.
Team captain Musa Mohammed put the Flying Eagles ahead from the penalty spot in the 70th minute before Ifeanyi Mathew’s sealed the win with a long range volley at added time.
The players were discussing the outcome of the game when they heard a loud noise as the right hand screen of the bus screen got shattered.
There were no serious causalities except Saleh who was hit by the broken glass that got into his eyes and was attended to by the team doctor and some concerned Ghanaians.
Fifteen minutes after the incident, the team left for their hotel.
The Flying Eagles are expected back in the country on Thursday to continue preparations for the 2015 African Youth Championship billed for next month in Senegal.
