The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has detailed reasons for the omission of Thomas Partey, Joseph Painstil and Inaki Williams from the latest Black Stars squad to face Nigeria and Uganda.
The omission which happened to the first call-up of re-engaged Otto Addo caused a lot of rancour on social media.
Against this backdrop, the GFA decided to set the record straight.
On Joseph Painstil, they said as a result of his move to the United States of America (USA), there are some further immigration documentation procedures he must embark upon and that is why he is unable to travel outside the USA until the process is completed.
Touching on the absence of Thomas Partey, the FA said the player asked to be excused from the game to gain full fitness following recent injuries.
On Inaki Williams, they noted that he pulled out of the games to have some rest and fully recover from recent injury setbacks.
Ghana will take on Nigeria on Friday March 22, and Uganda on March 26 in Morocco in FIFA friendlies.

Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.
He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.
Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.
According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.
He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.
Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.
He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.
