Richard Kingston Recalled To The Black Stars

The veteran Ghanian goalkeeper, Richard Kingston (35), has been recalled to the national team - the Black Stars, for the country's World Cup play-offs encounter against the Pharoahs of Egypt on the 15th of October, after a two year absence from the team.

Richard Kingston, who is the most capped player in the team, and very experienced goalkeeper, was for quite a long time without a club, until this season, when Doxa Katokopias of Cyprus signed him and he has just played few matches for them. Many Black Stars fans are worried, that his lack of club for a while, may have made him rusty between the sticks. And they argued, that he should not have been invited.

To those people I will advice them to wait and see who the coach will select. Obviously, coach Appiah wants to see how his current form is, and also the other two keepers, before he will decide who will be in the post on the match day. I believe he will select the best of the three,
after their performance in camp, after all he wants to win the match.

The first of the matches will be played in Kumasi Ghana, while the second leg on the 19th of November will be played in Egypt.
