Kingston told to work for World Cup place

Heart of Midlothian boss Csaba Laszlo has told Laryea Kingston his dream of playing at next year's World Cup finals will be dependent on his form for the club especially in the second half of the season.

Laszlo is exciteed three of his players Laryea Kingston (Ghana), Jose Goncalves (Portugal) and Ismael Bouzid (Algeria) could be in starring in South Africa.

 
Singling out Kingston, who had previously angered his manager by defying club medics and playing for his country, Laszlo said: "Larry knows he must show that he would like also to help us.

 
"He can be a positive part of this team and he can also have a lot of plusses if he can have a good half season with us, especially for his position in the Ghana team for the World Cup."

 
"Bouzid is a candidate for the squad and I think this is positive for Bouzid," he added.

 
"Even Jose Goncalves - if he doesn't have an injury and he shows all the time this performance - is a candidate for the Portugal national team.

 
"For a club in Scotland at this level, it's a huge exposure to bring three players to the World Cup. I hope this dream will be realised for these players."

 
Hearts have a difficult start to the season and are currently 7th on the league table.
