Former Black Stars coach Otto Addo has expressed thanks to the omitted players who helped qualified Ghana to the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Wakaso, one of the players snubbed from the 26-man squad was instrumental in the Black Stars qualification to the global showpiece including scoring a stunner against Ethiopia.
Others including right-back Andy Yiadom and Felix Afena-Gyan did play during the qualifiers but could not make it in the final squad.
“I would like to use this opportunity to thank players who brought us here. We always try to have the best possible squad, but some got injured, some couldn’t make it into the squad because others were also doing good,” coach Otto Addo told media in Doha.
“I would like to thank, first of all, Mubarak Wakaso. I think all of you watched the match against South Africa when he sacrifice his health and I was very, very sad when he received a lot of insult.He sacrifice his health for the nation in that game, this can happen in football, and afterwards he was insulted.” He added
