The Black Stars left the shores of the country Tuesday afternoon as they head to South Africa for the penultimate game
Ghana’s contingent left the Kotoka International airport on Tuesday afternoon enroute to South Africa for the 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers against Ethiopia on Thursday.
Head coach Milovan Rajevac named a 28-man squad last week for the encounter but the number has been trimmed down to 24 due to injury concerns.
Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey, A.S Roma youngster Felix Afena-Gyan, Benjamin Tetteh, Jonathan Mensah and Gideon Mensah were left out of the traveling party due to various injury concerns.
The Black Stars trained on Tuesday morning ahead of the trip to Johannesburg. Ghana is hoping to make a return to the World Cup after missing out in the 2018 edition in Russia. A win over Ethiopia and South Africa will guarantee Ghana a place in the play-offs.
