Goran Stevanovic would on Monday evening take charge of his maiden training session with the Black Stars in Antwerp for tomorrow's international friendly against Togo.

The new Ghana coach, who assumed official duty on February 1 has no injury worries with his 19-man squad announced last week for the team's first fixture of 2011.

Stevanovic will train with a full squad, largely drawn from bases in Europe at the Bosuilstadion, the match venue.

Ghana, who top the African rankings, would play the Hawks with the previous meeting between the pair coming in a friendly in August 2006 which ended 2-0 in favour of the Black Stars.

Both sides were billed to meet at a competitive level at the last Nations Cup but a terrorist attack on the Togo team bus forced them to withdraw from the continental tournament.

The game would be the Black Stars' first fixture of the New Year and also Goran Stevanovic's debut as head coach of the team as they prepare for their next crucial 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Congo in March.
