Milan midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng has decided to end his international career, according to Ghana Football Association.
The 24-year-old helped Ghana reach the 2010 World Cup quarter-finals, but has now informed the national team chiefs of his decision to quit the Black Stars.
“The Ghana Football Association has received a letter from player Kevin Prince-Boateng on his decision to resign from the senior national team, the Black Stars,” read the official statement.
”According to Kevin, the physical demands of playing for both club and country at high levels are taking a toll on his health.
”The player also explained that in order to remain healthy and stay off any injuries, he has consulted his doctors and family over the matter and has decided to take the decision to excuse himself from national duties since he is on a special training that he has to interrupt to honour national invitations.
”The Ghana Football Association is yet to take a position on the decision of Kevin Prince Boateng.”
