GHANA’S KWADWO ASAMOAH OUT OF AFCON 2017
Kwadwo Asamoah has reportedly asked to be left out of Ghanas squad for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.
Asamoah, a vastly experienced player who has over 60 caps for the Black Stars and represented them at four AFCONs and two World Cups, has reportedly asked coach Avram Grant not to consider him for the continental tournament in Gabon.
Asamoah has asked the Black Stars boss to exclude from consideration while he concentrates on recovering fully from a career-threatening knee injury.
The 28-year-old has spent much of the last two years on the sidelines due to injury and fears that a trip to represent Ghana in the Nations Cup could cause a relapse.
Surgery was successful. Glory be to God. Will be back soon. #BeliefOverHope#
