Joe Carr, a former Kumasi Asante Kotoko SC goalkeeper wants Orlando Pirates FC goalie Richard Ofori used as back-up goalkeeper at the World Cup.
The former Ghana star believes Ofori has lost his position as Ghana’s first choice goalkeeper to Jojo Wollacott going to the 2022 FIFA World Cup tournament in Qatar next month.
He thinks the English League One side Charlton Athletic goalkeeper has done enough to be Ghana’s first choice since his debut in October last year and deserves to start in Qatar.
“Among the goalkeepers, Jojo Wollacott has kept more matches for the national team in recent times, so I believe he is the right man to be in post for Ghana at the World Cup”
“We cannot use any other goalkeeper for try and error sake. In the absence of Wollacott, Richard Ofori should be in post. I remember Ofori was our number one but he has missed out at the moment. So, ideally, Ofori should serve as the backup goalkeeper to Wollacott” he said.
Ghana will open their World Cup account against Portugal before taking Uruguay and South Korea respectively.
