Afena-Gyan recently went into the wrong books of the Portuguese tactician after he returned from a discotheque in the wee hours of the morning.

He was demoted to the Primavera (Roma's youth team) but was restored to the first team a few days later as he helped the Rome-based outfit seal a slim win over Atalanta.
