Inaki Williams, Tariq Lamptey, and three more players, according to former Ghana winger Laryea Kingston, are not utilizing Ghana as a result of the World Cup after changing their nationality.
The two join three other players who have committed to the Black Stars ahead of the 2018 AFCON qualifiers and the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, namely Stephen Ambrosius, Ransford-Yeboah Konigsdorffer, and Patric Pfeiffer.
If chosen, all five players would have the opportunity to travel to Qatar for the World Cup in November.
“Everyone has his or her opinion but to the players, I think World Cup is a bit stage for them and I’m sure that if the management tried to push and bring them early on I’m they will come because most of them especially Williams has done very well in the Spanish La Liga but he has not had the opportunity to play in the Spanish national team,” Laryea Kingston said.
We should also be aware that the GFA had not previously contacted him. I think he would have come over to play if they had addressed him. It also benefits the other players, so in my opinion, they are not abusing the situation; rather, they simply enjoy to travel and represent their nation.
The Black Stars, Portugal, Uruguay, and South Korea are all in Group H with the Black Stars at the World Cup.
