Ghana midfielder Laryea Kingston has given his World Cup chances a major boost after impressively returning to action following a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n
Kingston, one of the key Black Stars players to miss January\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s Africa Cup of Nations in Angola, has been out of action for two months because of the injury.<\/p>\n
But he played for his Scottish side Hearts as they defeated Hamilton 2-0 in their Premier League game on Sunday.<\/p>\n
With 13 minutes remaining, Kingston replaced Novikovas to a mixture of cheers and jeers from the Hearts fans.<\/p>\n
The Ghanaian was playing for the first time under new boss Jim Jefferries after falling out with previous manager Laszlo Csaba which drew some stick from the club\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s fans.<\/p>\n
Kingston tried to win over his critics in the final minute with an ambitious 30-yard volley too close to Hamilton goalkeeper Cerny.<\/p>\n
Kingston appealed for handball in the box in stoppage-time before blasting another fine strike over the crossbar.<\/p>\n
Kingston came off the bench to make his first Hearts appearance since December and Jefferies was glad to see his playmaker back in action.<\/p>\n
“Laryea Kingston, I thought for the 15 minutes he got on, was lively,” added Jefferies.<\/p>\n
“He got in the game and had a few efforts on the goal.”<\/p>\n
His performance won\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t be ignored by Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac who is seeking fine-tune his squad ahead of the World Cup.<\/p>\n
Kingston is desperate to play in the global tournament after missing the 2006 edition in Germany because of a suspension.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
