Alfred Duncan and Jeffrey Schlupp should be called back in to the Black Stars – Augustine Ahinful

Former Ghana Black Stars Striker Augustine Arhinful has expressed that Black Stars Coach Chris Hughton needs to call back Alfred Duncan and Jeffrey Schlupp to post the quality of the team.

In an interview with another platform, Augustine Arhinful emphasized there is a need for consistency within the Black Stars. He believes that the Black Stars are currently missing the contributions of these two midfielders who previously retired from international football.

“The Black Stars lack consistency, and when you are building a national team with that issue, there is a big problem. Chris Hughton is disappointing me because he has been with the team for a while. If we have all these players who have also played for the national team, try to bring them back.”

Alfred Duncan, who plays in Italy’s Serie A, announced his retirement in May 2022. The Fiorentina star shared a heartfelt letter where he revealed his decision to step away from international football after his last appearance for the Black Stars in 2018.

Jeffrey Schlupp, on the other hand, has not been part of the national team since he was dropped before the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Arhinful argued that efforts should be made to bring back players like Alfred Duncan and Jeffrey Schlupp, even before the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
