Kuffour told Kumasi-based Kessben FM as quoted by footballghana:.

“I think he has his personal view on certain players, I personally have to respect his decision as a human being but putting that aside, we have to also go to the coaches, they have monitored every player but when you look at the statistics, how many matches has Majeed Ashimeru played.”

“I believe Asamoah Gyan is part of Ghana, he has captained this team and the little advise I have him is that, if something like this happen, maybe he can call one or two people but if you put on social media to use nonsense, I don’t think its fair.”
