Vice President of the Ghana Football Association, George Afriyie says the return of Juventus midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah to the national team is a decision which should solely be left to head coach Kwesi Appiah.<\/p>\n

The versatile player has put in stellar performances for the Bianconeri in the past couple of weeks and\u00a0recently recorded his 150th cap for the side in their goalless draw against SPAL 2013.<\/p>\n

However, he last pulled on the national colours during Ghana\u2019s participation in the Brazil 2014 World Cup, where he featured largely as a left wing-back.<\/p>\n

George Afriyie who also doubles as Chairman of the Black Stars management committee believes there should be no pressure from third parties on the matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is true that at a point he indicated that he was willing to call off his absence from the national team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what went wrong.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us still give the coach the chance and if he is in his plans he will definitely be called up.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince this falls directly under the jurisdiction of the coach let us allow him to take that decision,\u201dhe told Citi Sports.<\/p>\n

Kwadwo Asamoah\u2019s reason for staying away from the national team remains unclear, as he has put the spate of injuries behind him.<\/p>\n
