Ghana’s Black Stars have been handed a big boost with the return of Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Richard Ofori ahead of the 2022 World Cup playoff against Nigeria later this month.
Megasportsarena.com reports that the deputy Black Stars captain makes a return to the team after a long injury lay-off which saw him miss out on the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Cameroon.
Ofori on his injury return has reclaimed the number one spot at his club Orlando Pirates and was in post for the CAF Confederation Cup game against Royal Leopards on Sunday.
The South African giants won the game 3-0 with Ofori keeping a clean sheet.
Ahead of the World Cup playoff against Nigeria next week, Orlando Pirates head coach Mandla Ncikazi has confirmed Richard Ofori has been invited to the Ghana team for the crucial game against Nigeria.
His return will bring a lot of competition to the goalkeeping department as he has to compete with Jojo Wollacot for the first choice goalkeeper.
Richard Ofori was last in post for the Black Stars during the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier against South Africa in Johannesburg.
