Ghana midfielder, Edmund Addo, expressed his disappointment at being left out of the Black Stars squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
He wasn’t included mainly due to his limited playing time at club level leading up to the event in Ivory Coast.
"Not making it to the African Cup of Nations was a bit disappointing for me because you know almost every player would love to play in the Nations Cup, World Cup, Champions League, etc. But all being good, I was happy for my colleagues who made it, and I supported them massively," Addo stated.
In his absence, Ghana faced a poor performance, exiting the group stage, which ultimately led to Chris Hughton's dismissal and the return of Otto Addo.
Otto Addo's comeback coincided with Addo's return to the team for this month's international break.
Upon his return to the national team for friendly matches against Nigeria and Uganda, Addo expressed his sentiments about representing his country once again.
"Honestly, my joy is not about returning to the Black Stars but rather wearing the national colours and representing my motherland has always been amazing and emotional for me,” the midfielder expressed.
Addo hopes to be back in June for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Mali and Central African Republic.
