On an interview with Mr. Palmer of Pure FM and Coach Otto Addo of the Black Stars. 



Coach Otto informed all Ghanaians that JOSEPH PAINTSIL was unable to make the 26-man squad for the 2022 Qatar World Cup, but he continued to apologize to Joe for the inconvenience. 

" I'm sorry, Joe, but you did not make the 26-man squad; if it had been up to me, I would have called you, but I'm not the only one doing this (selection) " 

According to Mr Palmer of Pure FM, this is what Coach Otto Addo told Joseph Paintsil.
