Stephen Appiah: Legendary Ghana captain responds to player call-up interference claims

The former Juventus midfielder talks about speculations of players being forced onto Black Stars coach CK Akonnor

Former Ghana skipper Stephen Appiah has stated he is unable to confirm nor deny claims of interference in the West Africans' current nationality administration but says there was never any such cases during his era.

Appiah's comments follow recent controversy surrounding player selection for the Black Stars.

Ghana coach CK Akonnor has reportedly been forced to hand call-ups to some players on orders of top FA officials, a claim both he and the football governing body have rejected.
