The Ghana Football Association has revealed why Arsenal star Thomas Partey, Atletico Bilbao’s Inaki Williams and Joseph Painstil are now part of the Black Stars squad to face Uganda and Nigeria in the forthcoming friendlies.
The four-time African champions take on Super Eagles on March 22 before playing against Uganda Cranes on March 26 in Morocco.
In a statement, the GFA revealed Partey asked to be excused, Painstil has documentation issues while Inaki wanted a full rest to recover from injury setbacks.
Reasons for the omission of Thomas Partey, Joseph Painstil and Inaki Williams from Ghana’s squad:
Joseph Painstil: As a result of his move to the United States, there are some further immigration documentation procedures he must embark upon which is why he is unable to travel outside the United States until the process is completed.
Thomas Partey: Asked to be excused from the game to gain full fitness following recent injuries.
Inaki Williams: Pulled out the games to have some rest and fully recover from recent injury setbacks.
