Issah produced riveting performances to help Rosenborg to finish third in the 2010\/2011 season and says he deserves a national team call-up.<\/p>\nHe told Accra-based Happy FM: “To be honest with you, I am surprised that I have not been given a call-up especially if you look at how I’m playing at the moment.”<\/p>\n
“The Black Stars coach knows me from my time with Red Star and anytime we played against his team in the league, he had high praise for me.<\/p>\n
“So it surprising to me that he has not given me the chance since he took over the Black Stars job. But he is the man in charge and knows why.”<\/p>\n
Issah was rated among the top five players of Red Star by Croatian manager Robert Prosinecki at the end of the Serbian Super Liga last season.<\/p>\n
He left the Eastern European country in July to replace compatriot Anthony Annan.<\/p>\n
