Former Black Stars Midfielder Slams Calls for Sulley Muntari To Be Invited to Ghana Team for Nigeria Clash

• Ex-Ghana midfielder Charles Taylor has blasted calls for Sulley Muntari to be invited to the Ghana team for the game against Nigeria
• The 37-year-old has been in the news following his performance for Hearts of Oak in the Ghana Premier League
• The former AC Milan and Inter star is yet to play for the Black Stars since the World Cup in 2014 in Brazil

Charles Taylor, a former Black Stars midfielder and pundit, says calls for Sulley Muntari to be invited to the national team for the game against Nigeria is not right.

According to Charles Taylor, his former Ghana teammate is no more a Black Stars material and should rather focus on regaining his fitness.

Muntari has been on the lips of many Ghanaians following his outstanding display in Hearts of Oak in their President Cup triumph over Kotoko.

"Sulley Muntari is not a Black Stars material for the Nigeria Clash. We need serious players! He should focus on Hearts of Oak so he gains fitness, he can be called when Ghana qualifies for the World Cup," Charles Taylor said on Angel TV.

The former AC Milan and Inter star returned to Ghana few years ago before joining Hearts of Oak last month.
