The skills of the two players makes you think they could be considering boxing after retiring from football.

From the video spotted, it is clear the boys are enjoying their time together and the team spirit looks to be high to the build up for the Zimbabwe clash.

Amartey and Partey are part of the twenty-six players that have reported to camp for Saturday's World Cup qualifier against Zimbabwe.

Both players missed the defeat to South Africa, which led to the team losing top spot to the Bafana Bafana.

However, new coach Milovan Rajevac and his team are poised to reclaim top spot as they eye all six points from Zimbabwe.

The Black Stars were involved in a friendly encounter with lower tier side Soccer Intellectuals, who they crashed 8-0 to sharpen their scoring potency before facing the Warriors.

Kamaldeen Sulemana and Fatawu Issahaku netted a brace in the game, with the other goals coming from Yaw Yeboah, Joel Fameye, Mohammed Kudus and Benjamin Tetteh.

Ghana will travel to Harare three days after the game on Saturday, to play Zimbabwe in the return leg.

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that, new Ghana coach, Milovan Rajevac, has told players of the senior national team, the Black Stars, to be proud of representing their country ahead of the game against Zimbabwe.

The Black Stars will host the Warriors on Saturday, October 9, 2021 before traveling to Harare to face the same side three days later.

At his first meeting of the team, the Serbian trainer told the players to work together to achieve the goal of qualifying to the 2022 World Cup.
