Mubarak Wakaso trends as Ghanaians mystified by how he got a Black Stars call up
Many Ghanaians have been left started as to why Mubarak Wakaso can be handed a Black Stars call up on a silver platter.
The Shenzhen FC midfielder has not played club football since last doing so in August 2021 and last played his last competitive fixture was November 2021.
He has since then been in Ghana and keeping fit with personal training drills at the Legon Ajax Park but has been called up whiles the likes of Alfred Duncan, Mudasiru Salifu and Majeed Ashimeru have been ignored.
Many Ghanaians have questioned why Mubarak Wakaso should literally be gifted a call up when he has been inactive for so long.
At the AFCON same Wakaso was sent to the tournament whiles injured and could not play a single minute before Ghana exited at the group stage.

It’s either we’re evolving as a national team or not. Find it quite strange calling up a 31-year-old Wakaso, who has been quite inactive. Especially when there are much younger options in that position.

"Committed" Wakaso can be called up anytime he's fit and has minutes in a competitive environment.
We have absolutely no business handing him a competitive spot with 0 mins of football action and at the expense of hardworking guys .
No way !

Wakaso has been the best player for Ghana in the last 2 Afcon tournament he played, so he qualified to be part of the team only if he is fit.@WakasoBobby

I dont think people should be Angry over the black stars call up
This might be a Farewell call up for Wakaso, Jonathan Mensah and coThey wont make the world cup squad so this is compensation

Why does Wakaso keep getting national call ups?

Mubarak Wakaso is trending #1 in Ghana.
My thoughts are simple: he – and other players injured on national team duty – are owed a debt of honour to help them get back to form.
Terms and conditions apply, of course. pic.twitter.com/tyXLlJvpYU

One step forward to qualify for the WC, now a step back to bad habits. Several picks that make you question the effectiveness & process of the scouting. Wakaso hasn’t played a club game since August 21. Seidu plays CB for his club. Augustine Okrah & Barnieh in the shop window. https://t.co/sBs6nk4MV1

Mubarak Wakaso still making this Black Stars squad baffles me, but arh well, let’s see how things will go.
Bigups to Afriyie Barnie and Augustine Okrah for their callups. Truly deserving

Okrah and Afriyie barnieh deserve the call up at all cost…. But what’s wakaso doing there… we always want to cause a controversy around every call up.. 😂😂😂
