Columbus Crew’s Harrison Afful is the only player who hasn’t reported but the former Esperance full-back is scheduled to join his teammates later today to give coach Kwesi Appiah a full squad ahead of the tricky encounter against the Harambee Stars who are looking forward to picking their first points of the qualification after a 2-1 away loss at Sierra Leone in June last year .

Sixteen players took part in the team’s first training session on Tuesday evening and preparations continues today with the nineteen players in camp.

The team will hold their last training session in the Ethiopian capital on Thursday morning before enplaning to Nairobi where they will train on the pitch of the Moi International sports center on before Saturday’s game.
