Black Stars to start training on Tuesday

Ghana’s squad will begin camping on Tuesday in Accra to start preparations for the Brazil 2014 World Cup playoff first leg tie against Egypt at home in two weeks.

Head coach Kwesi Appiah expects all of his foreign-based 25-man squad to arrive by Monday and then start training the next day.


The Black Stars will train at the Accra Sports Stadium for just one day before leaving for Kumasi, venue for the match, on Wednesday.

Ghana will have one week to trim the rough edges for the crucial assignment on 15 October at Baba Yara Stadium.


The four-time African champions have lost three regulars Jonathan Mensah, John Boye and Mohammed Rabiu to injuries.
