Information gathered indicates that Coach Otto Addo has called Joseph Paintsil to inform him that he is not in the final Ghana squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
According to Tema Youth owner and Bankroller Wilfred Osei Kwaku, popularly known as Palmer, the Coach called Joseph Paintsil and explained to him why he misses out on the squad.
In an interview with Pure FM, Palmer alleges that Coach Otto Addo told the KRC Genk forward that he will not be in the final squad because of external forces.
Palmer explained, “’I’m sorry Joe, unfortunately, you do not make the 26-man squad; if it was up to me, I would have called you but I’m not the only one doing this [selection].”
In the past, Wilfred Osei Kwaku Palmer had accused the leadership of the Ghana FA of sabotaging the chances of Joseph Paintsil in the Black Stars.
In his view, the player is not being given a fair chance because of his affiliation with the Tema Youth football owner.
