African Cup of Nations: Burkina Faso VS Ghana (Free Live Stream) – Ghana will be going against Burkina Faso without midfielder Michael Essien Tuesday in the African Cup of Nations to be held at 16:00 GMT.

Essien suffered another setback while training yesterday when he picked up a knock to his right knee, ruling him out of the final game.

After losing their first match 3-1 to the Elephants, the Black Stars must now win the last match in Group B, which was reduced to three teams following the withdrawal of Togo.

Burkina Faso coach Paulo Duarte believes his team can hold up against Ghana after successfully drawing 0-0 against Ivory Coast and with his team injury-free.

“That goalless draw has allowed us to start thinking of qualifying for the last eight,” he said. “Now we have to take on another World Cup qualifier in Ghana, but my team has the ability to put in a good performance.”

Update:  Ghana qualifies for the quarterfinals after defeating Burkina Faso 0-1.
