Black Stars head coach Otto Addo trained with 22 players in the team's first training on Saturday afternoon as the senior national team prepared for their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Niger.
The squad was reduced to 22 players after Istanbul Basaksehir defender Jerome Opoku withdrew on Saturday due to injury.
Additionally, winger Joseph Paintsil, who plays for Los Angeles Galaxy in Major League Soccer, remained in Accra to resolve passport issues, leaving coach Otto Addo with a slightly smaller squad for Monday's crucial match.
Among the players in camp who took part in the training session are goalkeepers Lawrence Ati-Zigi, Joseph Wollacott, and Frederick Asare, along with defenders Alidu Seidu, Tariq Lamptey, Mohammed Salisu, and Abdul Mumin.
Fatawu Issahaku, Thomas Partey, Mohammed Kudus, Jordan Ayew, Antoine Semenyo, and Elisha Owusu who all started the game against Angola last Thursday also trained.
Majeed Ashimeru, Forson Amankwah, Inaki Williams, Kingsley Schindler, and Brandon Thomas-Asante who all started from the bench the opening game last week complete the lineup of players who took part in the session on Saturday, along with Jonas Adjetey, Ibrahim Osman, Ebenezer Annan, and Abu Francis.
The Black Stars will face Niger at the Municipal Sports Complex in Berkane on Monday, 9th September 2024.
