Ghana's two biggest stars Milan's Muntari and
Schalke's Boateng have been suspended from
the team just hours ahead of their crucial
World Cup match, both have had their
tournament accreditation withdrawn, the
Ghana FA (GFA) announced.
They will play no part in Ghana's must-win
last Group G match against Portugal in
Brasilia on Thursday.
The squad has been a state of rebellion over
unpaid appearance fee and Muntari is
reported to have slapped a senior GFA official
during a heated meeting.
Boateng "verbally abused" coach Kwesi
Appiah, said the GFA.
A statement from the association said:
"The GFA has suspended Sulley Ali
Muntari indefinitely from the Black Stars
with immediate effect.
"The decision was taken in the wake of
his unprovoked physical attack on an
executive committee member of the GFA
and a management member of the Black
Stars, Mr Moses Armah on Tuesday 24th
June, 2014 during a meeting.
"The GFA has approved coach Kwesi
Appiah's decision to suspend Kevin-
Prince Boateng indefinitely from the
Black Stars.
"The decision was taken following
Boateng's vulgar verbal insults targeted
at coach Kwesi Appiah during the team's
training session in Maceio this week.
"Boateng has since showed no remorse
for his actions which has resulted in the
decision."
