Ghana striker Tagoe joins Black Stars ahead of Congo clash
Ghana received a massive boost on Tuesday when
Serbia-based top striker Prince Tagoe joined the
Black Stars ahead of Friday’s Africa Cup of
Nations clash with Congo in Kumasi.

The Partizan Belgrade attacker arrived in the
country on Monday night after steering the Serbian
side to the country’s league title.

Tagoe’s presence is a massive boost for coach
Goran Stevanovic as striker Asamoah Gyan is out
suspended.

Also present at the training was Jonathan Mensah
who arrived together with Prince Boateng and Tagoe
on Monday night.

Meanwhile, only France-based Andre Dede Ayew is
yet to report with the officials insisting he is
due to arrive on Wednesday due to certain
circumstances in France.

The team is expected to leave for Kumasi on
Wednesday morning.

The session was under the technical guidance of
head coach Goran Stevanovic, who took time to
rehearse his tactics ahead of Friday’s meeting
with the Red Devils.

Striker Asamoah Gyan who is unavailable for the
clash due to suspension joined his colleagues
midway through the session.

Players present at the training session included
goalkeepers Richard Kingson, Sammy Adjei and
Ernest Sowah, defender Samuel Inkoom, John
Paintsil, Daniel Opare, David Addy, John Mensah,
Lee Addy and Isaac Vorsah.

The rest are Anthony Annan, Michael Essien,
Emmanuel Agyemang Badu, Kwadwo Asamoah, Derek
Asamoah, Emmanuel Clottey, Dominic Adiyiah, Sulley
Muntari and Asamoah Gyan.

Ghana beat Congo 3-0 in the first leg fixture in
Brazzaville last March.
