Ghana striker Richmond Boakye Yiadom has taken to Twitter to deny claims made by Richie Washington on Facebook that he has been sidelined from the Black Stars because he has a problem with the GFA and its President, Kwesi Nyantakyi.

The Atalanta attacker has not played for the Black Stars for close to two years, and Washington was claiming that a rift between the Italy-based goal poacher and the CAF Executive Committee member is the reason for his recent exclusion from the senior national team.

“Please ignore Richie Washington’s claim that I have issues with Ghana FA and President Nyantakyi. It’s false, he’s a stranger & a liar,” Richmond Boakye Yiadom tweeted.

The 22-year-old has been called up as a replacement for injured Abdul Baba Rahman for the friendlies against Senegal on March 28 and Mali on March 31.
