German club Augsburg have threatened to report the Ghana FA to FIFA for the late return of Baba Abdul Rahman from last monthââ¬â¢s international assignments.
The 20-year-old who appears to have clinched a starting place in the Black Stars line up reported back to his club late after featuring in games against Guinea in the 2015 AFCON qualifiers.
Augsburg have blamed their 2-1 defeat to Mainz immediately after the international break on the late arrival of their key defender who was considered too tired to start the game.
The clubââ¬â¢s General Manager Stefan Reuter now says the club is considering a petition to FIFA to compel clubs to return players from the international break on time.
ââ¬ÅIt is extremely annoying for us. [It is] the associationââ¬â¢s duty to ensure that players return back to their clubs on time,â⬠Stefan Reuter said.
ââ¬ÅNow, we have to look at what to do â⬓ to ask FIFA to help by putting pressure on Football Associations in a reminder to ensure that players quickly return to their clubs [after international breaks].ââ¬
Baba Rahman is expected to be named in Ghanaââ¬â¢s squad for next monthââ¬â¢s final round of 2015 AFCON qualifiers against Uganda and Togo.
