The squad received a significant boost on Saturday following the arrival of midfield stalwart Thomas Partey and forward Inaki Williams, who immediately joined their teammates for training after reporting to camp.

The blend of established internationals and emerging talents is expected to offer the coaching staff a clearer picture of the squad’s depth as Ghana continues preparations for upcoming competitive assignments.
The Black Stars will take on Wales at the Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday, June 2, with kick-off scheduled for 6:45 p.m.
The match is expected to attract considerable attention from Ghanaian football fans, who will be eager to see the national team build momentum and cohesion ahead of future international engagements.
