Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan did not train with his teammates on Tuesday evening ahead of the World Cup playoff against Egypt.
The Al Ain striker was a spectator as the Black Stars held their first training session at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Seventeen players took part in the exercise presided over by coach head coach Kwesi Appiah.
The session started off with light jogging and stretches after which Michael Essien and Marseille winger Andre Ayew withdrew.
Ayew had his right ankle heavily strapped with packed ice as he watched the remainder of the session from the sidelines.
The 23-year-old appears to have a very minimal injury concern and was presumably withdrawn from the session as a precaution.
Ghana expect to have a full house before Wednesday’s rehearsal when six players arrive tonight.
The Black Stars will host the Pharaohs on 15 October at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.
Ghana players in camp:
Fatau Dauda, Jerry Akaminko, Daniel Opare, Rashid Sumaila, Awal Mohammed, Samuel Inkoom, Edwin Gyimah, Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu, Emmanuel Frimpong, Michael Essien, Kwadwo Asamoah, Sulley Muntari, Christian Atsu, Albert Adomah, Andre Ayew, Abdul Majeed Waris, Jordan Ayew and Asamoah Gyan.
