Tariq Lamptey rejoins Black Stars for the first time since 2022 World Cup
Brighton and Hove Albion defender Tariq Lamptey has joined the Black Stars in Marrakech, Morocco, for the international friendlies against Nigeria and Uganda.
The 23-year-old is returning to the national team for the first time since the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Lamptey has not featured for the Black Stars since the 3-2 victory over South Korea at the global showpiece.
He has been consistently dropped for international assignments due to his niggling injuries. Due to the setback, the England-born Ghanaian also missed the Africa Cup of Nations staged in the Ivory Coast.
However, his injury comeback is a huge boost for the Black Stars as new coach Otto Addo prepares his team for June’s World Cup qualifiers.
The former England youth international is expected to play in Friday’s West African derby against Nigeria and next Tuesday’s game against Uganda.
The Black Stars hope to put behind them a disastrous AFCON by beating their arch-rivals, Nigeria.
