Ghana defender Jerry Akaminko says he is not overly worried after been overlooked by Ghana boss Kwesi Appiah.
The Turkey-based strong centre back was a surprised omission from the Ghana squad that will play Malawi in the à reverse fixture of the 2013 African Cup of Nations qualifier despite impressing heavily for new club Eskisehirspor.
The 24-year-old was an unused substitute when the Black Stars beat The Flames 2-0 in the first leg at home but was left in the cooler for the return fixture in Lilongwe.
But the 2008 Ghana best defender insists he bears no grudges.
ââ¬ÅI donââ¬â¢t think it should be a problem at all. There are many players and the coach knows which ones he will need for a particular match,â⬠Akaminko said
ââ¬ÅLetââ¬â¢s pray for our team to qualify. Thatââ¬â¢s the most important thing.
Akaminko has played all four games for new Turkey Super League side Eskisehirspor.
His place has been taken by Jonathan Mensah of French outfit Evian.
