Ghana drop Boateng, Muntari after Brazil bust-up

ACCRA, (Reuters) – Kevin Prince Boateng and Sulley Muntari, who were sent home from the World Cup in disgrace, have been dropped from the Ghana squad for next month’s African Nations Cup qualifiers. Also out is Michael Essien, who made a rare public outburst after the tournament at his lack of playing time in Brazil and then quickly apologised, as well as midfielder Albert Adomah and goalkeeper Adam Kwarasey.

Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah recalled Leicester City’s Jeffery Schlupp and David Accam, who plays in Sweden, after the pair were cut from the final squad for the World Cup finals.
