The Black Stars of Ghana are expected to have a full house by Monday night ahead of the 2017 Afcan clash with the Mambas of Mozambique at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Ghana announced a 23-man squad on Wednesday ahead of the clash with the South African outfit to secure a ticket for the in Gabon next year.

Reports indicate that majority of the players will be arriving on Sunday with a few arriving on Monday to make a full house.

The team is expected to commence training on Monday in the morning with the remaining players expected to arrive latest by Monday night.

The unpleasant news for Ghanaians, however, is that deputy captain of the team Andre Ayew will not be part of the team due to injury.

But ‘bad boy’ Adam Kwarasey makes a return into the team after several failed attempts to lure him back into the side.
