Kickoff (Cape Town)
6 October 2008
Milovan Rajevac took his Black Stars players through their paces for the first time on Monday ahead of their 2010 World Cup qualifier against Lesotho at the Essipong Stadium in Sekondi on Saturday.
The Serbian is desperate for a result that keeps the Black Stars in the race for one of Africa's five places at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and got down to early business with twelve of the players who reported for training at the El Wak Stadium.
Goalkeepers Richard Kinsgon, George Owu as well as Prince Tagoe, Eric Addo, John Boye, John Paintsil and captain Stephen Appiah joined Eric Bekoe, Samuel Inkoom, Harrison Afful, Agyeman Badu, Yaw Antwi and Daniel Yeboah in the session.
Rajevac expects the other eleven players called up to join the squad for Tuesday's session at the same venue.
The Serbian complained of limited time to train with his players ahead of the loss to Libya last month and will hope he gets the full set to work with his players this time.
Key on the mind of the Serbian will be how to set his players up on the pitch after his 4-2-3-1 system back fired in Tripoli.
