Norway-based Awal shocked over Black Stars snub

Published on: 09 December 2011

Norway-based midfielder Mohammed Awal Issah is surprised at being overlooked by Ghana after hugely impressing with Rosenborg. 

The 24-year-old claims he did enough to convince coach Goran Stevanovic during their days in the Serbian League.

Issah produced riveting performances to help Rosenborg to finish third in the 2010/2011 season and says he deserves a national team call-up.

He told Accra-based Happy FM: "To be honest with you, I am surprised that I have not been given a call-up especially if you look at how I'm playing at the moment."

"The Black Stars coach knows me from my time with Red Star and anytime we played against his team in the league, he had high praise for me.

"So it surprising to me that he has not given me the chance since he took over the Black Stars job. But he is the man in charge and knows why."

Issah was rated among the top five players of Red Star by Croatian manager Robert Prosinecki at the end of the Serbian Super Liga last season.

He left the Eastern European country in July to replace compatriot Anthony Annan.
