KP Boateng Must Be Invited To Black Stars - Coach JE Sarpong

Former Asante Kotoko trainer, J.E Sarpong has charged Coach Kwesi Appiah to settle any differences between himself and K.P Boateng and hand the forward a call up into the national.

Boateng, 31, is serving an indefinite suspension from the national team after he and Sulley Muntari were dismissed from the camp of the team for misconduct.

However, after joining Barcelona on loan from Sassuolo, several Ghanaian football enthusiasts have called on Kwesi Appiah to consider recalling Boateng back to the national team.

But in an interview with Asempa FM, the former Al Khartoum manager insisted the former AC Milan star will be seen in the national team jersey only if he renders an unqualified apology him and the country but the former Ebusua Dwarfs and Liberty Professionals gaffer has called on Kwesi Appiah to swallow his pride and invite KP Boateng back to the Black Stars.

“If the coach is willing to work with him, he should call him but it shouldn’t be like an apology first before he hands him a call up into the national team”, Coach Sarpong told Kumasi-based Agyenkwa FM.

“I even doubt if Kevin-Prince Boateng will avail himself for call up because he is now enjoying his footballing career.

“Ghana needs Kevin more than Kevin needs Ghana now so we should swallow our pride and call him if the coach will need him in his game plan.

“Kwasi Appiah is a humble coach and does not talk much in public but I believe he might call Kevin in the coming days.

“Since Gyan is not scoring these days I believe inviting Kevin to partner either Gyan or Emmanuel Boateng will be useful to Ghana.

“Quality players are troublesome but they are manageable so the technical handlers of the national team should be able to manage him and they will get their results”, he concluded.
