Bechem United forward Augustine Okrah breaks silence on Black Stars snub for Kirin Cup tournament |

Bechem United forward, Augustine Okrah, has finally explained his reason for rejecting the Black Stars invite for the Kirin Cup tournament.

The winger, who was initially dropped from the Black Stars team before the trip to Angola, was recalled by the technical team ahead tournament in Japan.

However, the ex-Kotoko player refused to rejoin the team, citing sickness as the reason for his ignoring the invite.

“After the game against Aduana, my condition was not okay so I spoke to our club president,” he told Pkays Corner.

“I was feeling dizzy, only to realize doctors were on me. I was off, so I woke up to find out the club doctors were around me,” he added.

“I had a call from [Bechem United General Manager] Lord Zico but I told him I can’t join the Black Stars because I was not fit.

“I got injured during our game against Aduana Stars. I didn’t want to go and disgrace myself reason why I didn’t report to the Black Stars, Okrah said.

“I told Lord Zico to inform the management about my fitness and my decision not to join the team.”

Okrah has 14 league goals for Bechem United this season.
