I'll Only Recall KP Boateng To Black Stars If He Apologizes - Kwesi Appiah

Coach Kwesi Appiah says he will only recall Barcelona new recruit, Kevin-Prince Boateng into the senior national team if he comes out to apologise.

The forward is currently serving an indefinite suspension from Black Stars after he and Sulley Muntari were expelled from the team in Brazil for misbehaving during the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

The 31-year-old was sacked after being found guilty of vulgar verbal insults targeted at coach Kwesi Appiah.

However, Ghanaian football loving fans have called for the ban to be lifted after Boateng stunned the world by joining Barcelona on Tuesday.

“Kevin-Prince Boateng is a Ghanaian and currently he is playing very well and if you look at our striking options we have always relied on Gyan so is about time we all check and get at least four strikers that we can always rely on,” Appiah told Asempa FM.

“Kevin is one of the good strikers as I have said, but in Brazil, he[Kevin] and Sulley were suspended by the FA for their unruly behaviours and I think Sulley has written a letter to apologise and looking at how Kevin is playing now, if he should write a letter to apologise, I will invite him because it is about the country not about any individual.”

Kevin has been capped 15 times by Black Stars and has scored two goals since his debut against Latvia in 2010.

He could make his debut for Barcelona against Sevilla in Copa del Rey today.

Boateng has been recruited by the Spanish champions on loan from Sassuolo for the remainder of the season.
