Orlando Pirates’ Edwin Gyimah may see his dreams of playing at the 2017 African Cup of Nations brought crashing down after being involved in a car accident.

Gyimah was seemingly lucky to be alive this week after being involved in a head-on collision with another vehicle at home in Ghana, and can be seen on a video bleeding from his head, although walking.

While there has been no word from the player himself as to his physical state, the accident could possibly harm his chances of making the trip to Gabon with the Black Stars, with their first game getting underway on January 17.

According to reports from Ghana, the 25-year-old has been named in a squad of players expected to report to training this week as Coach Avram Grant prepares for the 2017 AFCON, although it remains to be seen as to whether Gyimah will make the final squad.

Grant is likely to name his final squad in the coming days and fans of Gyimah will be hoping that his injuries in Obuasi weren’t serious enough to rule him out of the African showpiece.
