Ghana coach, Claude Le Roy would watch from the sidelines on Thursday when the Black Stars play their first test game of the year at their camp in Abu Dhabi against local side, Al Nasr.

The game which kicks off at 14:45 GMT would grant Le Roy an opportunity to assess his side tactically as he prepares the Black Stars for this month’s African Cup of Nations to be hosted by Ghana in four major cities.

The Black Stars have been preparing for the competition in the United Arab Emirates city of Abu Dhabi.

Ghana gets the tournament underway at the Ohene Djan Stadium in Accra against Guinea in the opening Group A game.

The group also includes Namibia and Morocco.
