Stephen Appiah<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ex-Ghana defender Sammy Kuffuor says Stephen Appiah should not be recalled to the Black Stars after recent calls by fans for the former captain\u2019s return.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Appiah, the former inspirational captain of the Black Stars, retired from the national team after the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.<\/p>\n

But after playing in a recent exhibition game organised by Michael Essien, some Ghana fans and respected administrators have called for his return.<\/p>\n

Appiah himself failed to rule out a return in a recent interview which has sparked a debate whether the former Juventus star should be handed a recall.<\/p>\n

But Kuffuor, who played for Bayern Munich in his prime, says Appiah must admit he can\u2019t play football forever.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has done his part and done it very well. He was with the Black Stars when I was there, he has been the captain. He can\u2019t play for the rest of his life,\u201d Kuffuor said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will happen to everybody and then they will have to stop at some point.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnthony Yeboah, Abedi Pele all left at a point. We hailed Polo some time back but he is not playing again. So we should just let him enjoy his time out,\u201d Kuffuor said.<\/p>\n
