The players and staff fled into nearby bushes to take cover,&#8221; the statement read.<\/p>\n<p>The club said one of the players was badly injured and receiving medical attention at a nearby hospital.<\/p>\n<p>The Ghanaian Football Association later said 20-year-old winger Dominic Frimpong was reportedly killed in the incident.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This tragic incident is not only a huge loss to Berekum Chelsea but also to Ghana football as a whole. Dominic was a promising young talent whose dedication and passion for the game embodied the spirit of our league,&#8221; the governing body said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>In a social media post, the president of the Ghanaian Football Association, Kurt Edwin Simeon Okrakru, called the incident &#8220;heartbreaking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-twitter-tweet embed--float-none embed--size-medium lazyload\" data-require=\"third-party\/twitter-widgets\">\n<div class=\"embed__content-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Heartbreaking!
