Black Stars to hold first training session ahead of Rwanda clash

The Black Stars will begin their preparations for the game against Rwanda this afternoon at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Fourteen players including third skipper Emmanuel Agyemang Badu have arrived in the country despite the scuffle between the Ghana Football Association and the Ministry regarding air tickets.

Avram Grant will lead the players out for today’s training session but expects the rest of the squad to arrive later today.

South Africa based defender Edwin Gyimah is in town alongside Torino’s box-to-box midfielder Afriyie Acquah who is expected to take part in this afternoon’s training session.

Wa All Stars goalie Richard Ofori, AshGold’s Kadiri Mohammed and Asante Kotoko’s Dauda Mohammed are all expected in training this afternoon.

It’s been a testing period for the players as a stand-off between the Ministry and Football Association moved to another level with the Minister refusing players air tickets to come home for the game against the Amauvibi of Rwanda.

Training will start at 4:00 pm today
