Samuel Kuffour Asamoah Gyan

Former Black Stars defender Samuel Osei Kuffour hit back at Ghana legend Asamoah Gyan for his ‘nonsense’ tweet over the snub of Majeed Ashimeru in the Black Stars squad.

The all-time Ghanaian top scorer (51 goals) could not hold his anger over the absence of the RCS Anderlecht midfielder who according to Ghana FA, is injured with the Belgian club.

“This guy [Majeed Ashimeru] is the best midfielder in Ghana, after Thomas Partey. I have kept quiet on this but this nonsense must stop. Smh,” Gyan fumed on Twitter before apologizing.

“I still insist that Ashimeru deserves to be in this current Black Stars BUT am sorry for using the word “ Nonsense “ in my statement so I unreservedly withdraw that word, I was carried by my emotions . Go Ghana ”, he tweeted.

Even after the apology, Kuffour thinks Gyan is not the person who should have said such thing on a national team he captained for many years.

“He 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,” he 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.”

In addition, Ghana will take on Nigeria on Friday at Baba Yara Stadium for the first leg of their 2022 Qatar World Cup play-off before travelling to Abuja four days later.
