All of Ghana's playing squad fly to Egypt as they left Istanbul for the World Cup qualifying play-off.

The entire 24-man squad were on the plane that left the Turkish capital after midnight at 00:30 (22:30GMT, Ghana time).

Black Stars coach Kwesi Appiah took on board with him with a fit squad for Tuesday's qualifier.

The Black Stars will make the close to two-hour trip across the Mediterranean to Cairo and will arrive in the early hours of Monday.

Ghana lead the tie 6-1 after a thumping first-leg triumph in Kumasi last month. The aggregate winner qualifies for next year's finals in Brazil.
