Former Black Stars midfielder, Emmanuel Agyemang Badu reveals that he paid for all injury treatments he sustained whiles playing for the Ghanaian national team.
Agyemang Badu scored eleven in seventy-eight appearances for the Black Stars from 2008-2017.
Agyemang Badu signed for Ghana Premier League side Great Olympics in the current transfer window.
Lack of insurance to cover player injuries as been a major problem at the Black Stars.
Players are mostly left on their own or their club sides to foot their injury bills when the get injured at the camp of the Black Stars.
Agyemang Badu insists that he paid for his injury bills whiles playing for the Black Stars.
"It's not like we don't have passion and we are money conscious because for me, if you see any scar on me, it's because of the national team," he said at the e-sports summit.
"Mostly all the injuries, I treat myself. I don't know if we have insurance and never got advantage from it, then I don't know. From the injuries I have on my leg, meniscus, the scars on my face I treat myself.
"The last injury I got from the African Cup, I went to Udinese and had a treatment. So if a player gets injured and sees money which he thinks is good for him, he will go for it," he insisted.
