Speaking about the situation, Asante Twum explained that delays in player reporting are not unusual, especially with the majority of the squad playing abroad.

Its very common [for players to arrive late in camp], especially when 90% of your players play abroad, he said on Sporty FM.

Black Stars opened camp on Monday with only nine players taking part in the first training session, which focused on shooting drills, passing, and stretching.

The remaining players have since arrived at the teams hotel and are set to join training on Tuesday evening.
