Stephen Appiah says Fabio Capello’s decision to rest senior England players for Tuesday’s friendly is disrespectful. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Former Ghana captain Stephen Appiah says Fabio Capello\u2019s decision to rest senior England players for Tuesday\u2019s friendly is disrespectful.
England manager Capello has defended sending five key men back to their clubs ahead of the Wembley sell-out.<\/p>\n

John Terry, Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney and Michael Dawson will not face Ghana, having started Saturday\u2019s Euro 2012 qualifying win over Wales.<\/p>\n

But Appiah, 30, told BBC Sport: \u201cIt\u2019s like they are underrating the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ghana have sold a remarkable 21,000 tickets for their first ever match against England, the largest official away allocation Wembley has ever seen for an international.<\/p>\n

But many Black Stars fans will have bought their tickets unaware they would end up watching a half-strength England team.
It is 54 years since Ghana, then the Gold Coast, gained independence from the United Kingdom, becoming the first sub-Saharan country to do so.<\/p>\n

Appiah, who currently plays for Cesena in Italy\u2019s Serie A, won 69 caps for Ghana and captained the country at the 2006 World Cup.<\/p>\n

He has also played for Fenerbahce, Juventus, Bologna and Udinese, and the three-time Ghana footballer of the year will be a special guest of the Ghanaian FA at Wembley.<\/p>\n

Appiah said: \u201cA lot of Ghanaians have travelled from America, Canada, from around the world. It\u2019s a dream come true. It\u2019s huge, it\u2019s big and Ghanaians are going to follow the match.<\/p>\n

\u201cGhanaians are disappointed. They really wanted to see those players. The players wish they could play against JT [Terry].<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s their dream to play against Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard and all these players. Maybe some of them will not play in that stadium again.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked if he thought Capello\u2019s decision was disrespectful, Appiah said: \u201cI think so, yes. Some Ghanaians are really sad they are not going to play. Maybe Mr Capello has his own reasons, we have to respect those.\u201d<\/p>\n
