Ghana legend Asamoah Gyan has apologised for going ‘mad’ over Majeed Ashimeru’s exclusion from the Black Stars squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup playoff clash against Nigeria.
Gyan reacted angrily after learning that the Black Stars technical team led by his former Black Stars teammate, Otto Addo had not invited Ashimeru for the crucial games despite the midfielder impressing in Belgium.
“This guy Majeed Ashimeru is the best midfielder in Ghana, after Thomas Partey, period. I have kept quiet on this but this nonsense must stop. Smh,” Gyan tweeted.

But Gyan, Ghana’s all-time leading top scorer later deleted the tweet and apologised.
“I still insist that Ashimeru deserves to be in this current Black Stars BUT am sorry for using the word “Nonsense” in my statement so I unreservedly withdraw that word, I was carried by my emotions. Go Ghana,” he wrote.

Ashimeru, 24, has made 31 appearances and scored three goals this season for RSC Anderlecht in the Belgium Jupiler League.
