Boateng retires from international duty

AC Milan midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng has retired from international duty for Ghana, as he thinks the travelling is taking a toll on his health.

The former Portsmouth midfielder pledged his allegiance to Ghana during his younger days, and has now called time on his international career at the age of only 24.


"The Ghana FA has received a letter from player Kevin-Prince Boateng on his decision to resign from the Black Stars", said a statement released by the African country.

"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."
