English managers have always been a part of never-ending debates and Harry Redknapp is never excused. With Capello already announcing his decision to quit England after the EURO 2012, speculations regarding the next man to take charge have already been heating up.
Sulley Muntari has been suffering to cement his position in Inter Milan’s first XI team. The midfielder joined the Italian giants for £14M almost 3 years ago in a move that was set to completely turn around the career of the ex-Portsmouth player.
The future of Ghana’s national football team is shaping itself differently with Chelsea’s Michael Essien and Inter Milan’s Sulley Muntari appearing more than irregularly for the Black Stars.
In Michael Essien’s case, where it’s been half a year since the ‘bull’ played for his country, injury worries are believed to have been the cause of his national team exclusion. The fragile Chelsea midfielder sustained a knee injury (ironically following a tackle by his Blues teammate Didier Drogba) during Ghana’s 2010 Africa Cup of Nations opener against Cote d’Ivoire earlier in January.
Doctors confirmed that Essien had to miss the remainder of the tournament where the Black Stars still went all the way to the reach the final. Since then, Michael Essien has been left on the sidelines. The player only just returned to action with Chelsea in mid-July and Ghana’s Milovan Rajevac has no intentions of risking him in Wednesday’s friendly match against South Africa.
