Yahaya Mohammed shocked by exclusion from Ghana squad to face Sudan

Posted On Wednesday, 13th March 2013

Yahaya Mohammed is unhappy with his exclusion from the Black Stars squad that will play Sudan in Kumasi

Amidaus Professionals midfielder Yahaya Mohammed says he’s astonished at his omission from the 24-man squad for this month’s 2014 World Cup qualifier against Sudan.

The 24-year-old was surprisingly was left out of the squad by coach Kwesi Appiah despite recovering from a knee injury which ruled him out of the 2013 African Cup of Nations.

The on-loan Asante Kotoko enforcer says he’s surprised at his exclusion insisting he’s fully fit to have played a part in the crunch tie at the Baba Yara stadium.

“I will say I am surprised because I was expecting to make the squad for the Sudan match but all the same I wish them well for the game,” Mohammed told Storm FM.

“I hear they claim I have an injury but that is never true because I was given three weeks to recover from my injury I sustained before the Nations Cup but that three weeks is long overdue and I have even played two games and scored once.

“I chose not to play the FA Cup match because I didn’t want to invite any injury before this Sudan match so I am fully fit and was expecting a call-up.”

The former OGC Nice midfielder is the leading goal scorer in the Ghana Premier League with 11 goals.

This mediocre player who has not even played a debut match in Blackstar jersey has the confidence to say he is surprised of his exclusion. Where is his confidence of a call up coming from? The only explanation is he has done all the underground payments and palm greasing necessary for a call up. am I lie? If Boakye Yiadom and frank acheampong with games under their belt is not screaming surprise, why are you yet-to-be-debuted Yahaya screaming surprise?

Yahaya i’am sorry but i want you to take a close look at the debudants, with the exception of E. Frimpong the rest are strikers & defenders. This tells that if anyone want midfielders for rituals Ghana is always the right place to get.Yahaya come again but this time come as a defender or striker
