Majority of the foreign-based Black Stars players are expected to arrive later on Monday having been in action for their respective clubs for the final game of the season over the weekend.

All with the exception of Michael Essien and Kevin-Prince Boateng will be in Ghana for the early preparations which include a farewell match against a local select side on Friday.
