Felix Afena-Gyan turns down Ghana national team call-up for AFCON 2021

AS Roma star Felix Afena-Gyan has turned down a call-up to the Ghana national team and is considering his international future.

The 18-year-old forward will miss the upcoming 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon due to his agent and guardians unwillingness to release him for the tournament.

Gyan was named in Milovan Rajevac’s thirty man provisional squad released on Tuesday to kickstart preparations for the continental showpiece.

This season the workaholic whizkid has earned plaudits across the globe after breaking into the first team of AS Roma.

The former EurAfrica FC player has been in superb form with his mind-boggling performance since moving to the Serie A side – Roma’s youth team in March 2021.

But according to Akoma FM, representatives of the Ghanaian sensation is reported to have officially written to the Ghana FA, expressing their utmost appreciation for the invite but insisted he is not ready to feature for the Black Stars at the moment.

However, report has that the GFA will conditionally accept the players request if he agrees to be part of the World Cup playoffs.
