President of the Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG), Kwabena Yeboah has questioned Kwadwo Asamoah’s loyalty after the midfielder ruled himself out of the crucial AFCON qualifier against Ethiopia.

The Inter Milan star pulled out of the Black Stars squad for the game against the Walias of Ethiopia due to injury despite playing 90 mins for Inter Milan in their 4-1 loss to Atalanta in the Italian Serie A on Sunday.

” We all watched Kwadwo Asamoah over the weekend against Atlanta. He was brilliant and phenomenal. He played the full game. For him to suddenly tell us that he has a leg injury and want to take medication I don’t want to take that.” Kwabena Yeboah told Angel FM in Kumasi.

“If he does that, it increases the conspiracy theory that over the years when ever the Ayew brothers are in the team he doesn’t want to be part the team. I don’t want to believe that. But the kind of job we are doing you can’t take anything hook , line sinker. I don’t understand.

“Kwadwo played 90minutes over the weekend. And everyone is supposed to join the team in Kenya for camping for an important game against Ethiopia, only for him to come and tell us he can’t go because of injury . I don’t think I can buy to that.” he added.

The Veterans sports journalist also advises Kwesi Appiah to concentrate on players who are ready to play for the country.

“Personally I think we have come to a point that those who are not ready to play for the national team we can’t force them. We must only allow those who are committed to play for the national team to come and wear the jersey and play.

“Those who feel for reasons one and two they cannot play for the national team there is nothing we can do about them but I’m very disappointed” he added.

The team is currently in Nairobi preparing and fine tuning before leaving for Addis Ababa for the game on Sunday.
