The Black Stars held their first training session of a three-week pre-Afcon camp in the United Arab Emirates on Monday.

Twenty three players trained at the Jeber Ali training Facility under coach Kwesi Appiah and his assistants.

Atlético Madrid star Thomas Partey, Deportivo Alaves midfielder Mubarak Wakaso, the US-based duo of Jonathan Mensah and Ebenezer Ofori and goalkeeper Richard Ofori were the absentees but have all since joined the group this morning.

Here some pictures of the maiden session below:
