The senior national team begins preparations for the double header games on Tuesday as the West African powerhouse revive their World Cup hopes.

Otto Addo is joined by Maxwell Konadu and goalkeeper's trainer Richard Kinston, a player he knows very well during their time at the World Cup in 2006.

After a win and a defeat, coach Charles Kwablan Akonnor was fired with a new technical team formed.

Ghana missed the World Cup in 2018 and are hoping to make a return to the global showpiece in Qatar next year.

Meanwhile, Milovan Rajevac has dropped five players from an initial 32 man squad named for both games.

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that, Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac, has pruned his squad to twenty-seven players as the team resumes training on Tuesday, October 5, 2021, ahead of the game against Zimbabwe.

The Serbian trainer had earlier invited thirty-two players but dropped five as preparations begin for the double-header of world cup qualifiers.

In a statement on the Ghana Football Association's website, it has been confirmed the team will train in Accra on Tuesday morning before leaving for Cape Coast later in the day.
