Even though there is massive happiness among the as they have trained since Monday their minds are also fixed on when Serbian coach Milvoan Rajeavc will release his final 23 man squad from the 29 players so far in camp.

Some players were expected to have delayed their arrival because of injuries and club commitments but they have all turned up to the surprise of the coach Milovan Rajevac.

Injured duo of Michael Essien and Agyemang Badu were given time to recover before turning up but the latter who plays for Udinese has turned sahowing his desire to grab a place in the 23-man squad.

Sulley Muntari was expected to have stayed away for four day after helping Inter Milan to win the European Champions League title but the Italy-based player has cut short his celebrations to be among the players.

Muntari arrived in the camping on Wednesday night to leave Michael Essien as the only player left to join the team.
