Ghana Football Association Technical Director, Francis Oti Akenteng, is urging national team officials to reconsider Sulley Ali Muntari for Black Stars selection if the suspended player apologises.
The experienced midfielder was sacked from the Ghana camp at last year's FIFA World Cup in Brazil along with Kevin-Prince Boateng for ill-discipline and has not been recalled since.
But Coach Oti Akenteng insists authorities of the national team must take a forgiving approach to the issue like a father would to his son.
'Sulley Muntari is our child so we don't have to cut off a body part because a baby urinated or defecated on it. We have to rub the dirt off and accept the person back," Oti Akenteng cautioned.
'If I was to be in the administration (of the Black Stars) and we discover that Sulley's absence in the team leaves a hole, what prevents us from accepting him back into the team?" the experienced CAF Instructor queried.
Coach Akenteng added:
'I still believe that Sulley Muntari will have to apologize first and then it will be up to the coach to scout him and find out if he is in shape and needed for the national team. To me, there is no problem in accepting him.
'He has to apologize first and the authorities will accept and bring him back into the team." Follow @thedonplato
