However, former Black Stars captain, Stephen Appiah who was also on the program revealed how the players felt following the announcement of the squad.

According to him, Black Stars players argued that the team would have looked different with Laryea Kingston's inclusion.

"When the news came to us, we felt very sad especially me because he was my roommate," Appiah said.

"I remember the players were arguing that Laryea's inclusion would have given th team a different dimension during our camping ahead of the tournament but that was the decision of the coach and you can't contest it.

"Laryea was a good player and we all enjoyed playing with him but it was just unfortunate that he never played World Cup," he added.

However, Laryea Kingston was also dropped from Ghana's squad ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa by coach Milovan Rajevac.
