Black Stars Head Coach Kwesi Appiah has raised fresh hope for the return of Sulley Muntari and Kevin-Prince Boateng after suggesting that the two will be considered for selection provided their performances merit a call-up.<\/p>\n
Both players were banished and subsequently suspended indefinitely from the team after an incident during the 2014 World Cup campaign.<\/p>\n
Muntari was booted out after he was alleged to have made an unprovoked physical attack on an Executive Committee member of the GFA and a management member of the Black Stars, Mr. Moses Armah, while Kevin-Prince Boateng was ousted after he also allegedly hurled \u2018vulgar verbal insults\u2019 at then head coach Kwesi Appiah.<\/p>\n
In what is a shocking U-turn, Kwesi Appiah who was addressing journalists at his unveiling opened the doors of the team to a possible return of both players.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce Muntari and Kevin-Prince Boateng are doing well and can help the nation, I am willing to bring them back to the Black Stars,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Kevin-Prince Boateng, who now plays with Spanish side Las Palmas, has enjoyed his most prolific season scoring ten times and providing four assists so far this season.<\/p>\n
Sulley Muntari is currently with Italian Serie A club Pescara.<\/p>\n
