“All the players will arrive in Ghana by Monday,” he told Kumasi based Nhyira FM.

“Also, three of our coaches are not in Ghana but we hope they will arrive this Sunday,” he added.

The Black Stars, after a disappointing campaign in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] in Cameroon, are aiming to make amends against their rivals by booking a place in the 2022 World Cup scheduled to be hosted in Qatar later this year having missed out in the last edition in Russia.
