Ex- Ghana international Charles Taylor thinks otherwise, he believes the former Inter Milan star does not have the quality to feature for the national team

Speaking T Angel TV, the former Kotoko legend said,

“Sulley Muntari is Not a Black Stars material for the Nigeria Clash. We need serious players! He should focus on Hearts of Oak so he gains fitness, he can be called when Ghana qualifies for the World Cup”

It’s believed discussion between the Ghana FA and the coaching staff are far advanced for the Hearts of Oak playmaker to return to the Black Stars after he raised eyebrows with his performances ahead of Ghana’s World Cup playoff against Nigeria.



The 37-year-old  former Inter Milan star has been banned from the national team until he apologizes for his role in the 2014 World Cup debacle.

He was sacked from the Black Stars camp at the 2014 World Cup after physically assaulting a member of the management team Moses Armah during a meeting.

Interim coach Otto Addo is yet to announce his squad for the games against Nigeria later this month, but sources close reveal he has been monitoring his former Ghana teammate.

Sulley Muntari signed for Hearts of Oak in February and has made four Ghana Premier League appearances, providing one assist.

He was also in top form as the Phobians beat Asante Kotoko to win the President Cup.

The Black Stars hosts Nigeria on March 24, 2022 in Cape Coast before travelling to Abuja in three days time for the second leg.
