Ghana’s Sunderland trio can help win the Nations Cup, says Sulley Muntari
Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari believes Sunderland’s Ghanaian trio could be the key to African Cup of Nations success.
Muntari and his Wearside team-mates John Mensah and Asamoah Gyan are aiming to end Ghana’s 20-year wait to get their hands on the ACN, and they take the next step in that quest today when the Black Stars meet Congo in a qualifier for next year’s tournament.
Ghana currently lead their qualification group after beating Swaziland and drawing with second-placed Sudan in their first two games.
And on-loan Inter Milan midfielder Muntari says that playing alongside Mensah and Gyan on a weekly basis at Sunderland can only help their country’s cause.
Muntari is expected to shake off the calf injury he picked up against Liverpool last weekend in time to play against Congo and Mensah is also available, but Gyan will sit the game out through suspension.
“It’s going to help a lot for Ghana that there’s three of us playing regularly,” said Muntari.
“Hopefully we can help Ghana in the African Nations next year.
“We just want to make our country proud. All Ghanaians are always willing to play well for their country.
“The game against the Congo is the most important one for us.
“We’ll try our best to win that and after that we’ll start concentrating on England.”
