Also joining the camp were Sparrowhawks players already plying their trade in Tunisia, Roger Aholou and Klousseh Agbozo, who quickly linked up with their teammates to take part in the session.
With the camp now underway, coach Duarte is steadily assembling his full squad, with the rest of the players expected to arrive in the coming days.
