Asante Kotoko youth coach Karim Zito claims the Black Stars returnees will be a blessing in disguise ahead of next monthââ¬â¢s World Cup group decider against Zambia.
Kevin-Prince Boateng, Andre Ayew and Michael Essien have been included in a 26-man squad to face the Chipopolopo on September 6.
While Kevin Boateng and Andre have officially written to end their self-imposed exile from the national team, Essien surprised many Ghanaian fans by making himself available for the fixture after a two-year absence.
The return of the experienced three-players is expected to boost the Black Stars ahead of the showdown in Ghanaââ¬â¢s second largest city of Kumasi.
There are however those who feel their return could be counter-productive with fears they could destabilize the unity in the team.
But the Kotoko youth trainer believes their return will serve as a good omen for the team.
ââ¬ÅLook if the team does not succeed, Kwesi Appiahââ¬â¢s head will be on the chopping board,ââ¬â¢ Zito told Happy FM.
ââ¬ÅAt the end of the day, he will be crucified. He is doing what he thinks is better for him and the team.
ââ¬ÅThe return of the players in my honest opinion is a blessing in disguise. Look these are professionals and know what to do.
ââ¬ÅThey are good players and therefore we should stop reading so many things into it. They wanted a break and now they feel itââ¬â¢s time to come back.
ââ¬ÅLetââ¬â¢s welcome them. Their return has put fear in the Zambians. We have players who are noted everywhere in the world.
ââ¬ÅI think the decision to call-up all these top-notch players are psychological.ââ¬
The Black Stars require either a win or a draw to advance to the final play-offs.
