‘Sulley’s blow affected my jaw’ Moses Parker

Owner of Ghana's premier league side Medeama FC, Moses Parker, says he

had to go to the US for a medical check-up because his jaw was injured

from a blow landed by suspended Black Stars midfielder Sulley Muntari.

Physical exchanges between the AC Milan enforcer and Ghana's

management member capped Ghana's disastrous World Cup campaign

littered with player indiscipline, managerial and government's

incompetence.

Appearing before a World Cup Commission set up to investigate Ghana's

controversial appearance in Brazil, Moses Parker said he was utterly

shocked by Muntari's unprovoked lunge at him.

According to him, the players had met with management members to

discuss delays in the payment of the appearance fees owed the players.

He said he only appealed to the players to be patient and assured them

that their appearance fees would be paid.

That intervention appeared to have angered Muntari who then surged

forward and attacked him.

He said he was first slapped by Muntari who followed up with a hefty

punch. He said he blocked a third blow from Muntari and decided, as a

matter of self defence, to respond.

His hefty response knocked Muntari to the ground, he testified.

While he admitted that his blow was perhaps heavier, Parker said

Muntari's second was a jaw breaker.

"Sulley's blow affected my jaw," he said, adding that he had to go for

a check-up in the US.

He told the Commission that Sulley's father called him days after the

incident to apologise on Sulley's behalf.

Sulley Muntari was handed an indefinite suspension from the team.

Left to Parker alone, he would love to have Sulley Muntari back in the

team because he is a "good player" but he added the management of the

GFA is yet to take a decision.
