2022 World Cup: South Koreans jubilate after learning Joseph Paintsil, other European players have been axed from Ghana squad

News of the exclusion of in-form winger Joseph Paintsil has been well-received by South Koreans.

The Asian country will face the West African country in the group stages of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Ahead of the start of the global showpiece later this month, Ghana head coach Otto Addo is scheduled to name his final 26-man squad on Monday, November 14.

Even before the official announcement is made, it has been reported that the most in-form Ghana winger in Europe, Joseph Paintsil has been excluded.

In addition, it is understood that Italy-based striker Felix Afena-Gyan, RSC Anderlecht midfielder Majeed Ashimeru, and some other top players in Europe have been axed from the squad.

 

After the news reached the portals of South Korea, they are now jubilating with the argument that Ghana will be heading to Qatar with a weak team.

South Koreans are now confident that national team head coach Paulo Bento can easily guide the national team to secure all three points from the game against the Black Stars.

Besides Ghana and South Korea, Group H also has Portugal and Uruguay.

The 2022 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to kick off in Qatar on November 20.
