The ex-Black Stars defender has reacted to the striker’s displeasure over the latest national squad selection.

Former Bayern Munich defender Samuel Osei Kuffour believes legendary Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan acted inappropriately by his public outburst over the squad announced for the nation’s 2022 World Cup qualifying double-header against Nigeria.

The ex-Black Stars defender has reacted to the striker’s displeasure over the latest national squad selection.

He later deleted the post, despite maintaining his stance, but apologised for his choice of words in describing the player’s absence as “nonsense”.

“He [Gyan] has his personal view on certain players as a human being but put that aside and go to the coaches, they have monitored every player,” Kuffour, currently a management committee member of the Black Stars, told Kessben FM.

“How many matches has Ashimeru played and not been invited?

“Asamoah Gyan is part of Ghana, he has captained this team so my little advice is that when things like this happen, you can call one or two people. But when you put it on your page and using the word ‘nonsense’ I don’t think it’s fair.

“You can go on and say what you want to say but certain words are not appropriate to use.”
