Muntari dismisses reports he's been axed from Ghana squad
Posted On Monday, 10th December 2012
Sulley Muntari is confident he will play for Ghana at next year's Nations Cup
Sulley Muntari has dismissed reports that he’s been omitted from the Ghana squad for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations.
The AC Milan star is yet to kick a ball this season after he suffered a serious knee injury in June.
The 28-year-old is losing the battle to be fully fit in time for the continental showpiece with growing reports that he’s been axed from the final squad.
Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah is expected to name a provisional 25-man squad on Thursday but it’s widely believed the former Sunderland man will not make the cut due to his inability to recover in time.
But Muntari has issued a statement on Monday to pour cold water on the rumuors by insisting he remains in the plans of the Ghana trainer.
‘I’m feeling really good and with God’s will I hope to be back playing with AC Milan again next week,” Muntari said
“I want to thank everyone for their support during this time of my comeback.
“I’m working really hard and intend to be fully ready to fulfil my duties for my country for the AFCON 2013.
“The Ghana FA has not made a firm decision yet on any player, but as far as I know I am still in strong contention for a place in the team.
“ I can’t wait to get back into it and I want to give my contribution to the team.’
Muntari is an important member of the Ghana squad as his experienced will be required to help the country end a 31-year wait for an African title.

No No No. muntari take a rest for now, you have done enuff.
Muntari is very inportant & very very influencial in ghana team, dnt forget he also contribute goals for the team. Longlive ghana,,longlive blackstars
He has not played a game all year so, NO!!!
Muntari is unfit to be included. He was out of form before he got injured to make matters worse for himself. On top he has not fully recovered yet and even to kick a ball. What’s more? We have more top form midfielders and wingers who are playing regularly for their clubs. We even don’t need half fit players so no no no no no no to Muntari.
Pls, i am a Ghanaian student in Nigeria and nothing interest me more than the Black Star. Pls, i may not be much correct in seletion but, it will be of much delight of me to see players like Quincy, yiadom, Kwadwo Asamoah, Muntari, Jonatan, Badu, Adiyia, Ayews, pensil, Afriyie etc.
As much as we all know that squad named by African Sports is false, you are surely not to be considered because you lack any match fitness and wouldn’t have enough time to fully regain your full fitness by the start of the tournament. We definitely can’t afford to take any half-fit players there just because of your reputation with the team etc…
Sorry Sulley, not this time!
Mutari just give yourself a break there is more tournament yet to come or though the team needs you but just relax and get fully-fit
