Veteran goalkeeper Richard Kingson believes Ghana’s World Cup trio Fatau Dauda, Adam Kwarasey and Stephen Adams have the credentials to shine in Brazil. 

Kingson was omitted in head coach Kwesi Appiah’s provisional 26-man squad despite making 13 appearances for Balikesirspor to gain promotion to the Turkish Super Lig.

The 35 year-old was Ghana’s safest pair of hands in the last two editions his wealth of experience overlooked.

But Kingson tod Ghana’s number football website GHANASoccernet.com that the three goalkeepers in camp can live up to the challenge.

“Fatau, Kwarasey and Adams are good goalkeepers whom I know very well. I have no doubt that they are all world class and can do the job at stake,” the former Wigan gloves man exclusively told GHANASoccernet.com

“I wish them all the best and may God bless our home land Ghana.”

Kingson sat on the bench in Ghana’s 6-1 win over Egypt in the World Cup playoff first leg at the Baba Yara Stadium.
