Ten players showed up for Ghana’s first training at the Accra Sports Stadium on Monday morning to begin their non-residential camping.
Captain Asamoah Gyan led by example by boycotting an end of season awards ceremony in UAE to honour head coach’s Kwesi Appiah’s call.
The Al Ain striker was joined by Kwadwo Asamaoh, Christian Atsu and Maritzburg defender Awal Mohammed.
Youngsters Richmond Boakye-Yiadom, Baba Rahman and Isaac Cofie took part in the session which lasted for close to two hours.
They were joined by three locally-based goalkeepers Fatau Dauda, Daniel Agyei and Stephen Adams.
But the two home-based outfield players Rashid Sumaila and Mahatma Otoo were absent.
The total number of players who trained fell short of expectations with many of the European leagues ended.
Training continues tomorrow (Tuesday) hopefully with an improved size before the team’s departure to Ethiopia on Wednesday for camping.
