Southampton defender Mohammed Salisu has turned down the offer to return to the Black Stars of Ghana for their World Cup 2022 playoff game against Nigeria in March.

President of Ghana Professional Football League side King Faisal Alhaji Grusah said he was tasked with having a chat with the defender over a return to the team after a poor performance at the AFCON, where they crash out in the group stage.

Speaking on Antinka FM, Grusah said he made contact with Salisu but was told by the defender that he isn’t in anyway interested in a return. Something he said angrily and that he isn’t alone as per players who want to turn their back on the team.

“The Black Stars Chairman tasked me to speak to Salisu cos he’s from Kumasi. I called his dad and he linked me to him. Salisu flatly told me to stay away from his matter. He questioned me that if he was my son,would I advise him to play for Ghana”, Grusah told Atinka FM according to a tweet by Nuhu Adams on Twitter.

“I’m not the only person who has spoken to him. I know CK Akunnor went to him, he said he won’t play. Even the GFA President said he found where his mother stays and went to her. I don’t know what happened but the Salisu is not ready to play”, he concluded.
