Asamoah Gyan, Ghana’s all-time leading scorer, has apologized for using the word ‘nonsense,’ when expressing anger over Majeed Ashimeeru’s absence from the Black Stars team for their match against Nigeria.
Despite the apologies , Asamoah Gyan maintained that the Anderlecht midfielder should have been selected in the roster for the 2018 FIFA World Cup playoffs against the Super Eagles.
“I still insist that Ashimeru deserves to be in this current Black Stars BUT am sorry for using the word “Nonsense” in my statement so I unreservedly withdraw that word, I was carried by my emotions. Go Ghana,” Asamoah Gyan tweeted.
Asamoah Gyan has deleted his previous tweet that reads, following the apology.
“This guy @MajeedAshimeruis the best midfielder in Ghana, after @Thomaspartey22 PERIOD. I have kept quiet on this but this nonsense must stop. Smh” Gyan tweeted with an image of Majeed Ashimeru.”
