AIK release Boateng for NICE game

Swedish side, AIK Stockholm has released Derek Boateng for the Black Stars? friendly game against French side, Nice, tomorrow.

Boateng was billed to play for Stockholm in their league game against Elfsborg today.


But coach Rickard Norling has decided to allow the player to join his colleagues in the national camp.

The Ghanaian international had earlier missed the opportunity to play for the Black Stars in a similar friendly two weeks ago against German side, VFB Stuttgart after AIK officials blocked his invitation.
