Former Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan, has slammed the decision to exclude Anderlecht midfielder Majeed Ashimeru from the Black Stars squad to face Nigeria in the FIFA World Cup playoff tie.
Ashimeru, despite his fine form for the Belgian giants Anderlecht, was excluded from the Ghana team, much to the displeasure of Gyan.
In a tweet, a few hours after Ghana’s squad was announced, Gyan wrote, “This guy Majeed Ashimeru is the best midfielder in Ghana, after Thomas ParteyPERIOD. I have kept quiet on this but this nonsense must stop. Smh”
