Black Stars new coach Chris Hughton has handed Joseph Painstil a recall to the national team for this month’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Angola.
The winger was one of the high-profile names snubbed of a 2022 World Cup place for Ghana despite his brilliant form for Genk in Belgium.
Painstil makes a return as Ghana is in search of a ticket to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations slated for Cote D’Ivoire in January next year.
The forward is having the best season of his career; with 11 goals and 10 assists in the Belgian League this season.
The Black Stars will host Palancras Negras at the Baba Yara Sports stadium on Thursday, March 23 before travelling to Luanda on March 27, 2023 for the reverse fixture.
Ghana are joint top of the Group E table with 4 points from two games following a 3-0 win over Madagascar and a 1-1 draw with Central African Republic in June last year.
