There are rumors circulating in Ghana that coach Kwesi Appiah is considering calling up Richard Kingson for the 2014 World Cup play-offs against Egypt. The 35-year-old goalkeeper, who has been absent from the national team for two years, has recently found a club in Cyprus after being without one since May 2011. While some express frustration and believe younger goalkeepers like Dauda Fatau and Adam Kwarasey should be given priority, others argue that Kingson’s experience is valuable in crucial matches like the upcoming play-offs. The president of the Ghana Football Federation, Kwesi Nyantakyi, has confirmed contact with Kingson and stated that the coaching staff is monitoring his performance to determine his readiness for the matches. Another veteran, defender John Mensah, is also rumored to be considered for a call-up.
