The senior national team, the Black Stars of Ghana, have arrived in Johannesburg for the 2022  FIFA World Cup qualifier against Ethiopia.

The four-time African champions will be hosted at the Orlando Stadium in the matchday 5 games on Thursday, November 11.

A total of 24 players on Tuesday made the trip to South Africa.

However, deputy captain, Thomas Partey, Jonathan Mensah and Felix Ohene Afena-Gyan did not make the travelling squad for the penultimate group stage game due to various reasons.

Thomas Partey and Jonathan Mensah are reportedly injured while AS Roma’s Afena-Gyan misses out for personal reasons.

Some 15 players trained and played a low-profile friendly match in Accra on Monday as the team starts preparations for the final two games of Group G in the World Cup qualifiers.
