Ghana Football Association has had to
kick out two of their top stars, Sulley
Muntari and Kevin-Prince Boateng due
to indiscipline.
A statement on GFA's website read
that both players "have been
suspended indefinitely".
This comes as a shock to the west
African nation hoping to make the round
of 16 for the second time in their
history.
Ghana needs to beat Portugal this
evening and hope Germany beats USA
to qualify.
Boateng, of Schalke 04 was kicked out
for insulting the National team coach
Kwesi Appiah in their Maceio training
ground.
While AC Milan's Sulley Muntari was
thrown out, for what the FA described
as "unprovoked physical attack on an
executive committee member".
29 year-old Muntari on tuesday
allegedly assaulted Moses Armah
(member of the team management) and
Boateng did not want to apologize for
his actions.
Ghana's government had yesterday
sent $3m (£1.8m) in a chartered plane to
Brazil, to pay the players large
appearance fees because the team had
threatened to boycott today's crucial
game against Portugal.
Muntari was expected not to
participation in today's game as he was
disqualified after getting his second
yellow of the tournament against
Portugal.
This new development will definitely
make the team's task of qualifying for
the next round harder than expected.
