Photos: Black Stars final training session ahead of Congo clash

23 players were present for Ghana final training session on Thursday at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, Kumasi.

John Boye was the only one among the 24-man squad preparing for the qualifiers who couldn’t turn up for training due to a thigh injury suffered, so he had to travel to Accra to seek medical clearance on the severity of the injury.

James Kwesi Appiah and his lieutenant Ibrahim Tanko took the team through some training drills, before they were divided into two.

 

The last exercise embarked upon was shooting to test goalkeeper and to also enable the player s to rehearse their shooting technics

After a careful monitoring of the Black Stars last training session ahead of Congo clash on Tuesday these are the men likely to be selected by James Kwesi Appiah.

 

In post will be Richard Ofori and he will be guarded by Jonathan Mensah who is likely to replace John Boye, doubtful after suffering thigh injury, so he couldn’t train on Thursday. Mensah will pair Daniel Amartey, while if anything to go by from the training session, then Jeffery Schlupp will be operate from the left full back position due to the late arrival of Lumor to the Black Stars camp. On the right  full back likely to be Harrison Afful.

 

Kwesi Appiah will continue to find faith in his central midfield of Ebenezer Ofori and Thomas Partey, while Andre Ayew and Christian Atsu will operate from the left and right wings.
