Ghana coach Appiah insists only Black Stars best players will play at 2014 World Cup
Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah insists only the best
players from the country will be selected to play
for the Black Stars at the World Cup in Brazil in
June next year.

The ex-Ghana captain came in for a flak this week
when he was reported to have said that some
benchwarmers could make his squad for the
tournament in South America.

The Black Stars have some players who are inactive
with their clubs in Europe and Ghana will have a
tough task in the group matches.

The West Africans will play Germany, Portugal and
the United States in Group G and Appiah says he
will take only the best players to the
tournament.

“We want the best players and only the best
players will be going to Brazil to represent the
nation,” Appiah said.

“My greatest concern is to have all my players
available and without any injuries. I pray for
that. I hope we arrive in Brazil with a solid unit
and we will take it from there.”

The fact remains that Michael Essien for example
has struggled for playing time at Chelsea but
Ghana would not exclude him from their squad or
starting team because of his immense talents and
experience.

Ghana are drawn against Germany in Group G
alongside Portugal and the United States in the
first round of next year’s World Cup.
