Published on: 21 October 2022

Ghana international Christopher Antwi-Adjei has opened up on his Black Stars chances ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

The 28-year-old made his first start this season for Bochum against third-tier side SV Elversberg during the DFB Pokal.

The winger has only made five substitutions in the Bundesliga this season due to injury setbacks.

"From time to time there is contact, most recently two or three weeks ago," he said.

"Now there isn't that much time left. I can only step on the gas on the pitch - everything else is up to the national coach."

Meanwhile Ghana coach Otto Addo is expected to submit a list of up to 35 players to FIFA, and players are waiting for the announcement with bated breath.

Players who will miss out in the provisional list will be unable to participate in the biggest soccer mundial this year.

The Ghana coach will announce his final 26-man squad for the 2022 World Cup on November 14.

Players who are assured of a place in the team include Andre Ayew, Thomas Partey, Mohammed Kudus, Jordan Ayew, Baba Rahman, Daniel Amartey, and Alexander Djiku, as well as newcomers Inaki Williams, Mohammed Salisu and Tariq Lamptey.

The biggest soccer mundial has been scheduled for November and December this year, with 32 countries set to battle it out for the covetous trophy in the Asian country.

The West African powerhouse are housed in Group H and will face Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea.

Ghana will open their World Cup account against Portugal on November 24 and will then play South Korea on November 28 and Uruguay in their final group match on December 2.
