The Black Stars will immediately move to their hotel, as coach Milovan Rajevac draws his training plan for tomorrow's encounter.

The Black Stars are expected to train at the national stadium as they shake off the exertions of the long travel from West Africa to the South.

Ghana enjoyed a first leg victory in Cape Coast and will be hoping to make it a double over the Warriors as they chase a ticket to Qatar 2022.

The four times African champions missed the World Cup in 2018 and are hoping to make a return to the global stage.

On Saturday, Mohammed Kudus, Thomas Partey and Andre Ayew were on target as the Black Stars recorded a 3-1 victory at the Cape Coast stadium.

The victory keeps the 2010 World Cup quarter finalist in second place, just a point behind leaders South Africa, who host Ethiopia on Tuesday.

Ghana rehired Milovan Rajevac to qualify the team to the World Cup, after the defeat to South Africa in Johannesburg last month.

Rajevac led Ghana to the quarter finals of the World Cup in 2010, becoming the third country from the continent to reach that stage.

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that, deputy Black Stars captain, Thomas Partey, has expressed happiness after scoring on his return to the national team as Ghana defeated Zimbabwe in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.

The Arsenal star netted Ghana's second in the 3-1 victory against the Warriors on Saturday following his return to the team, having missed the games in September through injury.

In a post match presser, the versatile player said he was happy to be on the scoresheet and that the most important thing is to win games.
