Schalke midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng has returned to training to boost his chances of playing for the Black Stars ahead of the 2014 World Cup play-offs against Egypt. The 26-year-old missed the Royal Blues German Cup win against Darmstadt on Wednesday due to his troublesome knee injury. Manager Jens Keller decided to leave him out as a precaution but could be available for their trip to Hoffenheim on Saturday after he returned to full scale training. Boateng�s return will boost his chances of playing for the Black Stars ahead of the crucial World Cup play-offs first leg tie against the Pharaohs on October 15. Ghana trainer Kwesi Appiah is hoping to have all his top stars fit for the BIG showdown at the Baba Yara stadium next month.
