Ghana goalkeeper Daniel Agyei has returned to the squad of his South African club Free State Stars boosting his chances of making the Black Stars selection for the World Cup in June.

Agyei is in the 18-man match day squad that travelled to KZN for Saturday game against AmaZulu.

The Ghanaian missed the game against Polokwane City last weekend but he is in the squad giving him the chance for playing time while Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah prepares his final list.
