But training would still go ahead today as the pitch would be ready for use at 11:00am,” Fred Pappoe said.Temperatures in the North-West Province, here in Rustenburg have dropped to as low as -5 C minimum with the wintry conditions over the last couple of days affecting flights and team plans.On Wednesday, group D members Germany and Serbia were prohibited from training at the World Cup venue in Port Elizabeth before their match because the pitch had been damaged by heavy rain over the past two days.Ghana will have a closed training session today as Milovan Rajevac prepares the team for Saturday’s Group D clash against Australia at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg.Source: Ghanafa.org
