"Kevin’s case happened at the training grounds between him and the coach in front of everybody. So that was the coach’s decision cos coach felt Kevin disrespected him several times with his choice of words," wrote Gyan on social media.

"One thing Kevin didn’t know is we defended him behind the scenes several times. But on that day , coach couldn’t take it anymore and reacted. That was the first time I saw Kwesi Appiah get angry and reacted. So Kevin’ case was the coach’s call. That’s the truth as the captain of the team," he added.

Boateng and Muntari left camp on the morning of the game against Portugal. The Black Stars lost the game 2-1, failing to qualify to the next stage of the competition, as reported by the BBC.
