Genk forward, Joseph Paintsil, says there is no pressure on him to score when the Black Stars take on Madagascar in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

Ghana is scheduled to play as guests to the Island nation in round five of the qualifiers for next year's tournament this coming Sunday - June 18.

The game will be played at the Mahamasina Municipal Stadium in Antananarivo, with Ghana needing a draw to seal qualification.

Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday after the Black Stars held their second training session at the Accra Sports Stadium, Paintsil said they will work together as a team to get the needed result.

When asked if he is under pressure to score because of the number of goals he has scored for Genk in the just-concluded season, he replied, "for me, I’m not under pressure to score or assist.

"My style of play is always to help the team in terms of giving assists, defending and fighting for the team. That is my task. If I score, that’s good but the most important thing is the team.

"It doesn’t matter who scores or makes the assist. The most important thing is working as a team to produce results for Ghanaians."

Ghana leads Group E with 8 points after recording two wins and two draws in their previous four games.
