Milovan Rajevac is hoping Michael Essien will be fit to start Ghana’s African Nations Cup Group B decider against Burkina Faso on Tuesday.Ghana's campaign prior to their arrival in Angola has been fraught with injuries resulting in some player withdrawals.Essien, who came on as a halftime substitute in Friday’s 3-1 defeat by Ivory Coast, only joined the squad on Wednesday after bad weather delayed his departure from London.“Essien came in only two days ago and he was injured,” Rajevac told a news conference, referring to the hamstring problem that had kept his captain out for more than a month.“He was not ready to play 90 minutes, he was actually not really ready to play 45 minutes. It was a big risk.“We have three rest days so we hope he will be ready to start against Burkina Faso.”Ghana are bottom of Group B with no points and need to beat Burkina Faso, second on one point to reach the last eight.The group is a three-team affair after Togo left the competition in the wake of a deadly gun attack on their team bus last week.Source: Ghanafa.org
