The camp of Ghana has been thrown into disarray after a reported robbery at their hotel base in Austria.
According to reports from SportyFM, the incident occurred while players were away at training, with multiple rooms allegedly broken into and valuables stolen.
Rolex watches and cash are reportedly missing
Sources indicate that at least two players lost expensive Rolex watches during the break-in, with one reportedly valued at around $20,000.

The thefts are believed to have occurred over two days, raising serious concerns about security within the team’s accommodation.
The situation worsened after it was discovered that the hotel’s corridor security cameras were reportedly non-functional.
This revelation has sparked fears that individuals with access to room key cards may have exploited the lapse in security to carry out the thefts while the team was away.
The timing of the incident has added to the tension within the Black Stars camp, as the team prepares for an important international friendly against Austria.
The Ghana Football Association is yet to release an official statement regarding the incident.
