Goalkeeper of Medeama Sporting Club, Felix Kyei, may just have ended his international career with a damning Black Stars of Ghana revelation.
The 22-year-old in the 2022/23 season was regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the Ghana Premier League, in which his team, Medeama, emerged as winners.
Kyei was placed on the waiting list for the Black Stars ahead of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, as the likes of Richard Ofori, Jojo Wollacot, and Lawrence Ati-Zigi were on the main list.
The Medeama SC goalie, out of apparent frustration, granted an interview that could spell the end of any chance of him being granted the privilege to represent his nation at any level.
“He [ex Ghana coach Chris Hughton] told me I’m on the standby lists for the AFCON and that, I will be invited in case there is any unfortunate incident before the start of the tournament”
Hughton told me if he has to drop any goalkeeper, it should be Richard Ofori but because of his leadership roles and other stuff he has to be included in the team.
Again, I was told Ofori’s inclusion was to help him regain his confidence and also use the tournament as a springboard to get a new club,” Kyei astonishingly revealed to Medeama FM.
It beats the imagination of any stakeholder of a player who dreams of donning the colours of his nation at the highest level to make this revelation.
