Black Stars of Ghana head coach Kwesi
Appiah recently named Kevin-Prince Boateng in a 24-man squad to face Egypt in the second-leg World Cup qualifying play-off coming up later this month.
Boateng, who plays for Shalke
missed the first let of the play-off due to a knee injury. The Black Stars will meet
the Pharaohs in Cairo on 19 November at the Air Defence Stadium. Other players included
in the squad are Dominic Adiyiah and goalkeeper Daniel Agyei
Meanwhile, the Ghanaian Football body is yet
to resolve its issues with FIFA after the World Football body rejected two
appeals for the game to be switched from Cairo over safety fears. Ghana's sports
minister has requested an urgent meeting with FIFA secretary general Jerome
Valcke over security plans for the World Cup play-off against Egypt in Cairo.
FIFA ruled that Egypt has given
security guarantees for the game, which will be the first international match
held in the capital for more than two years.
