Kevin-Prince Boateng and Kwesi Appiah spark Black Stars return rumours ahead of Nigeria playoff games

Published on: 10 March 2022

With Otto Addo set to name his Black Stars squad for the 2022 Fifa World Cup playoff games against Nigeria, several names have cropped up who are likely to earn call ups.

Ghana have been paired with the Super Eagles in the playoffs for a place in the World Cup scheduled to be hosted in Qatar later this year.

The Black Stars will take on Nigeria at the Cape Coast Stadium before the return game in Abuja on March 25 and 29 respectively.

According to multiple reports, the new squad for the game will feature new faces and some familiar old faces.

With names like Osman Bukari of French Ligue 1 side Nantes, and Bristol City striker Antoine Semenyo being heavily tipped to be called to represent the country against Nigeria, Kevin-Prince and Kwesi Appiah have seeming reignited interest in joining the team for the two crucial games.

Prince-Boateng, who currently players for Hertha Berlin, featured for the Black Stars of Ghana from 2010-2015, making fifteen appearances in total with two goals to his name.

In a social media post, replying to a tweet from an ace journalist, Gary Al-Smith who hinted the new Black Stars squad under Otto Addo will have some new faces, K.P Boateng then replied, “Let’s see…”.

His post also had Kwesi Appiah, a member of Ghana’s 2015 AFCON squad, commenting with the same phrase “let’s see”.

Appiah, who now plays for Crawley Town, has also featured seven times for the Black Stars of Ghana, scoring twice.

Ghana are seeking to return to the Mundial for the fourth time having missed out in the last edition in Russia in 2018.
