Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has called on forward Inaki Williams to better adapt to the national team as Ghana prepares for next year’s FIFA World Cup.
The Athletic Bilbao striker missed Ghana’s final two qualifying matches against the Central African Republic and Comoros due to injury.
Since completing his nationality switch in 2022, Williams has scored just two goals in 25 appearances for the Black Stars.
Speaking to Joy Sports after securing qualification, Addo stressed the importance of finding a stronger connection between Williams and the squad.
“We have to find a better connection with him, and he has to adapt better with the squad,” Addo said, adding that he also has a role to play in maximizing the striker’s impact.
“I also have to find the best position for him. If we all work on that, we’ll benefit because he has the quality,” he added.
Williams made his debut for Ghana ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and has remained a part of the national setup despite his limited goal return.
He is expected to feature in the Black Stars’ final squad for the Mundial, which will be co-hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
Ghana will learn their group-stage opponents on December 5.
