board member of Hearts of Oak, Dr Nyaho Tamakloe has pleaded that Sulley Muntari must not be rushed into the Black Stars team despite his fine start in the ongoing Ghana Premier League.
The 37-year-old following his return to the Ghana Premier League has made a total of five appearances for Hearts of Oak.
Muntari was a gem against Asante Kotoko as the Phobians recorded a 2-1 win to annex the 2022 President’s Cup at the Accra Sports Stadium.
His performances have led to rallying calls from fans and other football authorities for the former Inter Milan midfielder to be recalled into the national team for the double-header against Nigeria for a place at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
However, Nyaho Tamakloe, who was a part of the player’s days in the national team has insisted the time is not right for Muntari to be involved in the team.
“I worked with Sulley Muntari in 2004 when he was with the U23 squad. I was then the GFA boss. [It is clear that he is doing well] but let’s not rush him back to the team. I believe when the time is right, Sulley himself would know it and decide on it,” he said on Asempa FM.
Muntari has been out of the national team after the 2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil.
