Black Stars and Besiktas defender, Daniel Amartey, has purged his Instagram timeline of all photos associated with the Black Stars, following the team’s 2-2 draw against Egypt in the Afcon 2023 group stage.
Amartey, who has found himself as an unused substitute throughout the tournament, was notably benched by coach Chris Hughton in consecutive games, a departure from his usual starting role. The first match against Cape Verde ended in defeat, while the recent clash with Egypt resulted in a draw, leaving Ghana in a precarious position in the group.
The defender’s decision to wipe his Instagram clean of Black Stars memories raises questions about his dissatisfaction with the current situation. Speculation suggests that this move could be a silent message to Coach Hughton, expressing his displeasure with the treatment he’s receiving and hinting at a potential retirement after the tournament.
Amartey, who has been a consistent presence in the starting lineup for years, is experiencing an unprecedented spell on the bench, and his reaction on social media has caught the attention of fans and pundits alike. The defensive errors that marred the Egypt game, preventing what could have been a victory for Ghana, seem to have added to the frustration.
As Ghana prepares for their final group match against Mozambique on Monday, January 22nd, the team faces the critical task of securing a win to enhance their chances of advancing to the next stage of the tournament. The outcome of this match will not only impact their Afcon 2023 journey but might also play a role in determining the future of Daniel Amartey’s international career.
