Midfielder Sulley Muntari was rightfully left out of Ghana’s provisional squad for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.

The AC Milan star was not included in a 31-man provisional squad assembled by new coach Avram Grant.

Muntari has refused to apologize for his physical attack on a Ghana FA official during the 2014 World Cup which eventually fetched him an indefinite suspension from the Black Stars.

The 29-year-old has been urged by various personalities including his father and numerous of his fans to render an apology for his shameful abuse in Brazil.

But the feisty midfielder has showed no remorse and has refused to tender in an apology which is a pre-requisite for the lifting of his indefinite ban from the team.

He even turned down a fine opportunity to air his side of the story by declining an invitation to appear before the Presidential Commission of Inquiry.

Muntari's refusal to apologize left Avram Grant no choice but to leave him out of his 2015 AFCON squad despite visiting him at his base in Italy.

The Ghana FA is determined to restore discipline in the Black Stars team following the disastrous showing at the 2014 World Cup.

They have therefore declared the AC Milan star unavailable for international selection until he renders an apology.

Muntari thus misses a chance to inch closer to a century of appearances for the Black Stars – meaning he will remain stuck on his 80 appearances with 19 goals.
