Kevin-prince Boateng Issued Black Stars Ultimatum Ahead Of Egypt Clash
Black Stars management committee member Yaw
Boateng Gyan says Kevin-Prince Boateng should
consider himself out of the World Cup if he
refuses to turn up for the game against Egypt.

The Schalke star is yet to make a playing return
for the Black Stars since renouncing his premature
decision to retire from international football.

The 26-year-old made a return to the Ghana
national team for the final preliminary group game
in the World Cup qualifiers against Zambia in
September.

He was however ruled not fit enough to play a part
in the 2-1 win over the Chipolopolo despite doing
a 'lap of honour ' on the tartan tracks.

Boateng again failed to show up in the first leg
playoff win over Egypt – owing his absence again
to injury.

Many Ghanaians however remain doubtful of the ex
AC Milan star's commitment to the Black Stars –
with his critics believing he is only reserving
himself to play on bigger platforms such as the
World Cup.

He has now been handed an ultimatum to win over
confidence of the coach, teammates and the fans in
the second leg playoff game against Egypt
otherwise consider himself out of the World Cup
once Ghana seals qualification.

“There is no such player only cut for
qualification and others only for tournament ,”
Boateng Gyan – a relative of the Schalke forward
told Metro FM.

“It is a collective effort and therefore if he
[Boateng] keeps turning down invites to play with
the other players during the qualification series
including this last match then I think that will
be it.

“We have done our best and yes, he is my
relative but the truth of the matter is that if he
keeps up with this attitude of not turning up for
games then he better count himself out of the
World Cup.”
