Black Stars final training session ahead of Congo clash

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 the goalkeepers and to also enable the players to rehearse their shooting technics

After a careful monitoring of the Black Stars last training session ahead of Congo clash on Friday 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 and couldn’t train on Thursday. Mensah will pair Daniel Amartey, while if anything is to go by from the training session, then Jeffery Schlupp will be operating from the left full back position due to the late arrival of Lumor to the Black Stars camp. Harrison Afful will be deployed to the right full back.

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

Jorday Ayew will partner Asamoah Gyan upfront
