President of the Ghana Football Association, Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku says in the realm of the Black Stars, the head coach ultimately decides who receives a call-up.
Okraku was responding to a question after being asked for his reaction to Eddie Nketia's public announcement of his readiness to play for Ghana.
Nketia on countless occasions rejected call up from the Black Stars, which was a continuation of his opinion previously.
However, on 'The Beautiful Game' podcast, the 25-year-old said: "When I was growing up, coming through the youngsters here playing for England at that point made sense. But if Ghana calls me up, I'll be there."
However, Okraku in an interview with Original TV clarified that it is not within his authority to decide whether or not to select the player for the Black Stars team.
"It's not my call. I've not heard of it. It's the coach and his backroom staff who decide whoever deserves to play for our Black Stars. No one has spoken to me concerning Eddie Nketiah being available," he said.
