Black Stars players will hold their first intense training at the Baba Yara Stadium on Tuesday.
Ghana will play Angola in a double header this month in search of a ticket to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations slated for Cote D’Ivoire in January next year.
The Black Stars will host Palancras Negras at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Thursday, March 23 before travelling to Luanda on March 27, 2023 for the reverse fixture.
The players will head straight to Kumasi when they land in Ghana this week for the crucial encounter with the Palancras Negras. According to the National Sports Authority boss Prof Peter Twumasi the match venue is ready to host the two sides.
Baba Yara Stadium was closed for renovation works ahead of the game against Angola. After the renovation works the venue was given the green light by CAF to host the game.
The first training session will be supervised by head coach Chris Hughton supported by his two assistants George Boateng and Didi Dramani.
This training session will be the first for new coach Chris Hughton who took charge of the team on February 12, 2023
Chris Hughton has included Edmund Addo of Spartak Subotica, Ransford Yeboah Königsdörffer, Majeed Ashimeru of Anderlecht, and Joseph Painstil of Genk in the squad to take on Angola.
Freiburg attacking midfielder Kofi Kyereh is out with a cruciate ligament injury which has ruled him out of the season. Ghana Football Association vice president Mark Addo visited the injured midfielder in Germany to wish him well as he battles to be fully fit.
