Ghana midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah has shockingly returned to training with Italian side Inter Milan just three days after opting out of the Black Stars claiming he is injured.
His presence in Inter Milan training on Wednesday has sparked anger among the Black Stars fan
Asamoah was pictured training with the Serie A side in Milan in Wednesday while his Black Stars trained in preparation for Sundays match against Ethiopia.
The revelation comes as a shock to many football fans as his appearance in the Inter Milan training session paints a different pictures of his attitude towards the national team.
While he can genuinely be said to be undergoing injury training, others would argue that he is intentionally avoiding playing for the national.
His absence also puts the GFA in a bad light as they strongly defended his absence but he has now exposed te federation as not on top of the medical condition of Kwadwo Asamoah before granting him the person to be excluded.
The utility man was named in Kwesi Appiah's squad for Sunday's qualifier against the Walias in Addis Ababa, but misses out after claiming he picked up an injury at the weekend.
The 29-year-old claims he was hurt during Inter's 4-1 defeat by Atalanta in Serie A on Sunday.
"Kwadwo Asamoah has been ruled out of the Ghana versus Ethiopia game due to recurrent knee injury," the Ghana FA statement began.
"The Inter midfielder suffered a swollen knee after their defeat away to Atalanta over the weekend."
Asamoah has made 10 Serie A appearances for the Nerazzurri so far this term after moving from Juventus on a free transfer during the summer, following six successful years in Turin.
"Asamoah would not be available for Ghana's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Ethiopia in Addis Ababa," the statement continued.
"According to officials of Inter, Asamoah's condition has been intermittent and there is the need to seek urgent medical attention."
The former Udinese man's international career has been punctured by injury, and Asamoah only returned to the Ghana fold in September after four years of self-imposed exile from the Black Stars camp.
Appiah has opted not to name a replacement.
After two matches, Ghana find themselves third in AFCON qualifying Group F, having taken three points so far, although they've played two games fewer than leaders Kenya and second-placed Ethiopia.
Their October double-header against Sierra Leone was cancelled due to the latter's suspension by FIFA after government interference to deal with alleged corruption in the SLFA.

why do u want him to play with the cultist who is behind his problems? this is the problem i have with Kwadwo Asamoah. why cant he make it clear that he can not share the same dressing room with cultist gyan anymore and stop faking these injuries bcos they come back to him. Gyan is his problem not the Ayew brothers. even me have put my support for the black stars on an indefinite suspension and made it clear its bcos of that cultist who could not bring back castro. i will be praying ethiopia wins.
Ayew brothers are back that is why.....
The misguided belly full journalists slay Asamoah Gyan for all his sacrifices and achievements for the national team and yet this 1-d10t unpatriotic ly1ng ba$ta-rd Kwadjo Asamoah keeps being worshipped for nothing. He should never ever be invited again. Lets all appreciate what we have especially those who against all odds are prepared to d1e for the black stars. Players like Asamoah Gyan, Partey, the Ayew brothers, and all the well meaning players who always answer to the call. For ly1ing to the nation that he is injured and seen happily training with Inter, may God deal with Kwadjo Asamoah paaaa
LOOK AT THIS.. YOU NEVER PLAYED REGULARLY FOR THE NATIONAL TEAM AND YET KWASI APPIAH KEEPS WORSHIPING LIKE HE NEVER PLAYED BEFORE... DEDE AYEW BROUGHT THE WORLD CUP TO GHANA WITH HIS COLLEAGUES. YES HE WAS THE LEADER OF THE GROUP AND REALLY DID A GOOD WORK IN GETTING THE BEST OUT OF HIS GROUP..EVEN KWASI APPIAH DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT... ABOUT TIME WE CALL SPADE A SPADE
He can continue to avoid the Ayews. That is his cup of tea
