Ansah Botchway was rushed to a clinic in Mamprobi on Sunday night while midfielder Nurudeen Abdul Aziz is on admission at the Universal Clinic in Madina.
Former Black Satellites skipper Afriyie Barnieh first reported coughing, cold and malaria before he was rushed for treatment.
Only five players reported for training on Monday after most of the players could not attend the training session ahead their league game against Gold Stars. However, Sulley Muntari, Samuel Inkoom and Gladson Awako are not among those affected by the illness.
Food poisioning has been ruled out of the illness as the above named players also ate the same food they had before their game against Dreams FC over the weekend.
