Ghanaian midfielder, Samed Abdul Salis has been added to the provisional Black Stars squad list ahead of the 2022 World Cup according to reports.
The RC Lens midfielder has started in every game for his club this season and has been in fine for in Ligue 1.
Earlier this year, Otto Addo revealed that Salis didn’t want to join the squad as he was not ready to be a reserve.
“Salis Abdul Samed, he played at Clermont Foot with Alidu Seidu, I called the two in May, and we still have a list with players on stand-by to be prepared in the event that players are injured,” coach Addo said as quoted by Africa Football News.
“Alidu Seidu told me that there was no problem with him not being on the reserve list and being ready just in case.
“But Salis Abdul Samed told me he didn’t want to be on the reserve list. Then we had a lot of injuries in June, so I invited Alidu Seidu but Abdul Samed didn’t want to be a reservist so he wasn’t on the list, I couldn’t invite him.
“So, he is the one who excludes himself from the list?” Yes, that’s it,” he added.
But the coach and the player have settled their differences and he will be given the opportunity to make the final cut.
The final squads are to be submitted to FIFA by November 14.
