Former Ghana League Association (GHALCA) chairman, Alhaji Raji insists that Asamoah Gyan should forget about featuring for the Black Stars.
Gyan announced his intentions to join the Black Stars flight to Qatar in an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) last month
The 37-year-old has been inactive since parting ways with Legon Cities at the end of the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League season.
Gyan is Ghana's all-time record goal scorer with fifty-one goals.
He participated in all Ghana's previous World Cup appearances; 2006, 2010 and 2014.
The lethal Ghanaian striker has been training since revealing his intentions to grace the global showpiece this year.
Ghana are in the same group with Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea.
Alhaji Raji insists that Asamoah Gyan should forget about playing for the Black Stars.
"Asamoah Gyan should forget about the Black Stars; he must not even dream of returning to the team. If others had done the same in the past would he have got the opportunity to play for the team?" he quizzed.
"If he wants to serve in any technical capacity or play a role as an advisor to the striking department then that is fine, but as a player, he should forget it," he stated.
