Ghana’s Black Stars To Train At Wembley Tonight

Ghana’s Black Stars are relishing the prospect of an historic first international against England at the Wembley Stadium when they train at the venue this evening.

The Black Stars would take to the field at the famous venue ahead of Tuesday’s clash with the Three Lions.

A pre-match press conference by the Ghana camp would be held at 7:15 pm at the Wembley before the Black Stars’ training session.

Since the turn of the year, Ghana, under Goran Stevanovic have chalked two impressive wins against Togo in a friendly and yesterday’s 3-0 victory over Congo in the qualifying for the 2012 African Nations Cup.

Ghana are determined to continue with their winning run, with the sell-out game which is the first at senior level between both sides, up next.

England are bereft of some key personnel ahead of the match following Fabio Capello’s decision to allow John Terry, Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole, Michael Dawson and Wayne Rooney return to their clubs.

However, Stevanovic has his full squad to choose from with Asamoah Gyan available for selection after sitting out of the Nations Cup qualifier in Brazzaville due to suspension.

Gyan, an instant hit in the Premiership since his record signing by Sunderland from Rennes last summer would lead Ghana’s England-based quintet of Black Cats colleagues, Sulley Muntari and John Mensah, Blackpool’s goalkeeper Richard Kingson and John Paintsil of Fulham.

The game against England would complete a busy three-day fixture arrangement for the Black Stars.
