A number of names have been bandied about in the media space as players who have been called up for the doubleheader between the Black Stars of Ghana and Nigeria’s Super Eagles in the 2022 World Cup play-offs.
The 37-year-old is back in discussions about the Black Stars following a strong start to life at Accra Hearts of Oak.
Sulley has in his first six games for Hearts been impressive, scoring one and bagging one assist in the game.
His performance in the two matches against Kumasi Asante Kotoko has reignited calls for his return to the Black Stars.
When asked about a Black Stars reunion, Muntari said ““I came in and I got the chance to play for Hearts of Oak, is a big team here, the guys are amazing, the coach, the staff so I am very pleased to be here and also the fans are making things right. I am home so it’s just a joy to be here,” he added.
Kevin-Prince Boateng
The Kevin-Prince Boateng and Black Stars chapter never closes. Whenever Black Stars squad is about being released, the name of the former AC Milan forward comes up.
This time, his inclusion is being motioned by former Black Stars striker Prince Tagoe.
Tagoe said on Angel TV that “I’ll advise Otto Addo to call Kevin-Prince Boateng for the 2022 World Cup playoffs. This Ghana vs Nigeria game demands players with the character and experience that Kevin has. If we are serious about qualification, let’s invite him,” Prince Tagoe said on Angel TV.
Harrison Afful
It has been over four years since Harrison Afful was called up for a Black Stars game but his name is back in the conversations.
The US-based defender is reported to have made the squad for the games against Nigeria on March 25 and March 29.
His invitation follows the poor performance of Andy Yiadom during the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
