In the midst of the ensuing uprising in the Black Stars after the resignation of Asamoah Gyan, Sassuolo midfielder Alfred Duncan has communicated his unavailability for the 2019 AFCON to the Ghana technical team.

The 27-year-old is scheduled to undergo surgery when the current series A season wraps up this weekend.

Duncan delayed the operation to aid Sassuolo’s campaign and hopes to regain fitness before the new season.

”Duncan hopes to change clubs in the summer. He has three offers and want to recover fully during the transfer window, ” a source close to the player told GHANASoccernet.com

The midfielder’s absence will be a major blow for Kwesi Appiah who is aiming to end Ghana’s 37-year wait for an African title in Egypt.
