Black Stars fly out for Lesotho match

Coach Sellas Tetteh says he expects to pick up a second successive on Sunday as Ghana flew out for their next 2010 African Nations Cup and World Cup qualifying match.

A 22-man playing squad departed Accra, the Ghanaian capital, on Monday night for Sunday’s Group 5 game against Lesotho to be played in Bloemfontein, South Africa.

A healthy Black Stars squad would have their first training session ahead of the game against Lesotho today with team officials confirming that there are no injury concerns.

Sellas Tetteh is confident that Ghana can notch another win and maintain their form in the busy qualifying schedule during the month of June.

“We would go into the game very confident after winning our first game. The approach would be to play for a win,” says Sellas Tetteh after guiding Ghana to an opening win over Libya.

Ghana’s opening Group 5 game in the qualifiers for the 2010 African Nations Cup and World Cup saw the Black Stars beat Libya 3-0 at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi on Sunday.
