Midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah has been left out of Ghana's 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Mauritius despite being fully fit.
The Juventus ace season was rocked by constant injuries but recovered in time to help the Italian giants claim a domestic double.
And has been linked with a summer move to Premier League giants Chelsea.
But it looks like the former Chelsea coach wants to give the versatile player some time to recover fully.
Asamoah is yet to feature for the Black Stars under Avram Grant due to constant injuries.
