Hearts of Oak defender Nuru Sulley has expressed his disappointment for not making into Kwesi Appiah\u2019s 26-man provisional list for the World Cup in Brazil.<\/p>\n
The Local Black Stars defender played a very key role in the Ghana team that finished runner-up in African Nations Championship (CHAN), but that wasn\u2019t enough to earn him a call-up to the Black Stars.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought, I was going to make it to Ghana\u2019s 26-man provisional list for the World Cup and I even anticipated to be in the final 23-man squad for the World Cup,\u201d the 22-year-old defender told Joy fm.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel bad because we are doing well in the domestic league and we translated that to Africa by conceding just a goal during the CHAN, but that wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot withstanding that, Ghana has over thousand players, so the mere fact that people are chanting my name for a place in the World Cup is an achievement and it is my hope that I one day earn a call-up to the Black Stars.<\/p>\n
He added by expressing his desire to play overseas within the shortest possible time.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlaying abroad is quite head of Ghana and I think when you go overseas and excel people will see you.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the grace of God I am hoping there will be such an opportunity for me by the close of this year,\u201d the Hearts of Oak defender said. \u201d<\/p>\n
