New players will increase competition for places and benefit Black Stars ahead of World Cup – Otto Addo

Head coach of Ghana, Otto Addo has disclosed that the new players will increase competition for places and benefit the team ahead of 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The Black Stars welcomed several players who switched their allegiance after representing other nationalities in junior set-ups.

Tariq Lamptey, Mohammed Salisu, and Inaki Williams were handed call-ups and made their debuts from the bench in Ghana’s 3-0 loss to Brazil in a pre-World Cup friendly last month.

“It’s a good situation. We have pressure from the bench because new people are there who are very, very solid in Europe, and we have players on the pitch who have to prove themselves,” coach Otto Addo said.

Ghana will take on Switzerland in another preparatory game on November 17, seven days before their opening game at the 2022 FIFA World Cup against Portugal.

Black Stars will take on Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay in Group H at the World Cup final.
