The ex-Black Stars skipper believes the Juventus man needs to reconsider his decision to stay out of the national team.
Former Ghana captain Charles Akonnor is the latest to call for the return of Juventus midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah to the Black Stars.
The playmaker has been out of the national set-up since 2014, largely due to injury troubles.
Having regained full fitness ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations early this year, the 28-year-old surprisingly turned down a call-up, opting to focus on his club career.
“I don’t understand why the boy [Asamoah] has refused to come play for the nation, maybe there is something we don’t know," Akonnor told Happy FM.
"He was one of the key players when he played for Ghana, and we always looked up to him to deliver and he delivered all the time.
“He is not the only one [needed in the team]; I think we have a lot of talent who play in Europe.
"We are spoilt for choice but when we start to have the situation where players are refusing to come, it becomes an issue for us.
“I think the authorities or the manager himself should sit with the players and talk to them so they come help the Black Stars because we need their quality."
Asamoah has represented Ghana at six tournaments comprising four Afcon events and two World Cup gatherings.
He last featured for the Black Stars in a 2015 Afcon qualifier against Uganda in September 2014.

kwadwo pls and pls dont come back. love and cherish life. u have only one life. focus on your club level where u have the peace of mind even if u stay at the bench. i support your decision 100%. if the black stars team like they shd kill themselves. dont bother coming back
STRIPPING THE NUMBER 10 JERSEY FROM KWADWO ASAMOAH AND GIVING IT TO THE ALBATROSS SON OF ABEDI PELE WAS THE MOST STCHUUUUUPID DECISION TAKEN BY OUR FOOTBALL AUTHORITIES. IT WAS A VERY STTINKKING DECISION, SO, KWADWO, NEVER EVER PLAY FOR THE BLACK STARS AGAIN. OF ALL THE DUMB-ASSS DECISIONS IN THE WORLD, THAT WAS THE WORST!!!!!!!!!!
S appiah gave the 10 shirt for u but the owners of black stars says is for them... Pls i love u as a player but i dont think u shd quit the team just like that.... U look handsome in the 20 so pls come back
Asamoah plzzzzzz dont give ears to all those asking you to come, you hv contributed to the team, if you really love ur life n your family concentrate on your club and rada think about the future n invest wisely n profitably. u were initially wearing the 10 jersey n wat happened? Now ghanaians r calling for his head they want Kwadwo...Kwadwo...Kwadwo, don't add it to ur daily agenda thinking. Masa wise up.
We should not be hypocrites and pretend we don't know what's going on It started with a team mate chasing him with 'juju' induced nightmares for the No. 10 jersey Followed by juju induced injuries to disturb his career and take away his shine on the Black Stars. Give him back his jersey and park the malam. Kojo come back wai because now the truth is out and everybody knows that you are the real talent and not daddy-pushing player. The malams will be retired from the team soon!
This is how it's going to happen because the moment there is something wrong and a player openly talks about it then he will be tag as being disrespectful and rude in this case the matured ones will never talk because their reputation is very much important to them. Silence means concern, Silence even break things more than anything else. K . Asamoah, don't even come or comment, just be watching them wai.
undoubtedly one of the best players in the Black Stars. We should probe more to know why he's opted out
