Ghana will hold their last training session on Thursday ahead of the 2014 World Cup qualifier against Lesotho.

The Black Stars will round up their training schedule ahead of the crucial tie against the Crocodiles at the Baba Yara stadium on June 1 as speculation continues to mount over the probably starting line-up.

There are no major injury worries for head coach Kwesi Appiah who is expected to name a strong 18-man squad for the fixture.

The Black Stars have shown amazing goal scoring prowess since they arrived in Kumasi, venue for the match.

They recorded a seven-goal haul in two separate friendly matches against lower division sides.

They beat second-tier Asokwa Deportivo 4-0 before accounting for State Envoys 3-0.

Media reports claim coach Appiah will keep faith with goalkeeper Adam Kwarasey with Samuel Inkoom expected to be used at his preferred right-full back position.

Berekum Chelsea’s Richard Kissi Boateng is likely to be picked ahead of Lee Addy and Harrison Afful at the left-full back role.

Jerry Akaminko will partner France-based John Boye at the heart of defence while Emmanuel Agyemang Badu and Derek Boateng will play at the centre of the field.

Stand-in Captain Sulley Muntari could be deployed on the left of attack with Kwadwo Asamoah expected to play behind striker Dominic Adiyiah with Jordan Ayew likely to operate from the right wing.

The Black Stars must record a convincing win against their cash-strapped opponent to inspire confidence ahead of the crucial fixture against African Champions Zambia on June 9.

Probably starting Line-up

Adam Kwarasey, Samuel Inkoom, Richard Kissi, John Boye, Jerry Akaminko, Derek Boateng, Jordan Ayew, Emmanuel Agyemang Badu, Dominic Adiyiah, Kwadwo Asamoah, Sulley Muntari.
