Latif Blessing threatens Ghana again over Black Stars snub

US-based Ghanaian attacker Latif Blessing has reiterated his desire to turn his back on the West African nation at international level for being consistently overlooked for national call-ups.

Currently on the books of Major League Soccer side Los Angeles FC, the 22-year-old first revealed his intentions last December, less than two years after moving to the US.

He is yet to make an appearance for the Black Stars, his closest opportunity coming in January 2017 when he made Ghana's provisional squad for the Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon.

“Not getting a call-up is a difficult thing to deal with and sometimes, I feel disappointed,” he said in an interview with LAFC on the team’s official Facebook page.
