RC Lens midfielder Salis Abdul Samed has been invited to the Black Stars ahead of the 2022 Fifa World Cup in Qatar.
Otto Addo claimed last month that despite Salis’ excellent form in Ligue 1, he had not called him up because the midfielder had declined an invitation in May.
However, the RC Lens star explained that he was dealing with a knee injury at the time of his call-up.
Addo appears to have accepted the explanation because Salis has revealed that he has been named to the World Cup provisional squad.
“The coach sent me a message this (Saturday) morning, he said to me: “You are going to be on the list.” Salis is quoted as saying by Sportsworld.
“Everyone’s dream is to be at the World Cup and that is my dream too. I want to be in the final 26.”
The 22-year-old is one of Ghana’s most consistent players abroad, putting in impressive performances on a weekly basis in France’s top flight.
In France, he is regarded as one of the best summer signings, having moved from Clermont Foot to RC Lens in a 5 million euro deal.
Black Stars coach Otto Addo is will announce his provisional squad by early November, with the final announcement coming days before the World Cup.
Ghana hopes to advance from Group H, which includes former European champions Portugal, South Korea, and Uruguay.
The Black Stars’ first match will be against Portugal on November 24.
