George Afriyie has raised concerns about the excuses the Ghana Football Association gave for the absence of Thomas Partey, Joseph Paintsil, and Osman Bukari for the Sudan games.
The GFA indicated that Partey missed the AFCON qualifying double-header due to a medical issue, while Bukari and Paintsil skipped the games because of “pains” they suffered in their previous matches.
The former Black Stars Management Committee Chairman stated that the explanations are questionable.
The Black Stars drew the first leg goalless in Accra last Thursday before losing the reverse fixture 2-0 in Libya on Tuesday.
“There are so many unanswered questions as to why we failed to win here [in Ghana] and those questions you the media must ask them,” the former GFA Vice President told Joy Sports.
“I'm not convinced by the kind of excuses being given for why Partey, Paintsil, and Bukari couldn't come. They just want you to take them and accept them.”
Ghana sits third in Group F with two points from four games and is now on the verge of not qualifying for the AFCON for the first time in 20 years.
The Black Stars will be back in action in November in the final two games of the qualifiers against Niger and Angola.
