The Black Stars could not start their training as originally scheduled for Tuesday with just ten players reporting to camp ahead of their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Ethiopia.

The Ghana was expected to start serious training on Tuesday night but with just half of the squad invited turning up by Tuesday, coach Kwesi Appiah could not have his full training session.

Chaotic travel arrangements mean players who has finished playing their league matches on Saturday - three days before the camp was supposed to have started- had not arrived.

This means the team will have to wait until Wednesday evening when majority of the players ahea expected to have joined the camp in Nairobi ahead of the qualifier against the Walias of Ethiopia.

The West African giants will play as guests to the Walias of Ethiopia at the Addis Ababa Stadium on Sunday, November 18 in the sixth game of Group F.
