Kevin Prince Boateng is seen by many as not loyal to the Black Stars cause<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

AC Milan midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng has been dropped from Ghana\u2019s squad to face Nigeria in a friendly next month, GHANAsoccernet.com can exclusively reveal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the latest twist in his suspicious attitude towards Black Stars call-ups, the midfielder claims he is recovering from surgery, investigations have revealed.<\/p>\n

Now Ghana FA authorities suspect that closer to the game on 9th<\/sup> August, Boateng will say he is not available for the game in London next month.<\/p>\n

Fed-up Black Stars coach Goran Stevanovic has now axed Boateng from the squad while a new player will be considered in his position, insiders have told GHANAsoccernet.com.<\/p>\n

This comes after Boateng flopped in the Black Stars clash against Congo in Kumasi few weeks ago and opted out of the trip to South Korea for a friendly claiming he was tired.<\/p>\n

The latest revelation adds to a catalogue of Ghana matches Boateng has missed for suspicious reasons.<\/p>\n

He suffered a massive public backlash in March when he refused to turn for the crucial Nations Cup qualifier against Congo away in Brrazzaville.<\/p>\n

But two days later he presented himself to play in the high-profile Ghana-England friendly which sparked fury among Black Stars players.<\/p>\n

He was snubbed by team officials who suspected he was picking and choosing the matches he wants to play for the Black Stars.<\/p>\n

The latest revelation will do little to endear him to Ghanaians who feel used by the German-born player whose dwindling career was rescued by his association with the Black Stars last year.<\/p>\n

He was sacked from the German youth national team for indiscipline and was offloaded by Tottenham for non-performance before he secured a switch to the then struggling Portsmouth.<\/p>\n

His career was saved when he secured a nationality switch to play for Ghana at the 2010 World Cup and got the move to AC Milan after the Black Stars excelled at the tournament in South Africa.<\/p>\n

Already Ghanaians, including some popular pundits are alluding to the fact that he opted for Ghana only to market himself at the World Cup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
