Fit Muntari could give Ghana a boost on Sunday

By Bate Felix JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Midfielder Sulley Muntari could feature in Ghana's opening World Cup Group D match against Serbia on Sunday after recovering from a thigh injury, Ghana Football Association website said on Friday. Muntari has trained alone on the sidelines and missed the squad's warm up games since picking up a thigh injury during a friendly against the Netherlands on June 1. "Muntari played himself into contention for a starting place in the Ghana team against Serbia after training normally with the Black Stars squad in Rustenburg," the Ghana FA website (www.ghanafa.org), said. "The midfielder has recovered from a thigh injury," it said, adding that he took part in the full training session held behind closed doors on Friday morning. (Editing by Michael Holden)
