Michael Essien announces retirement from international football

Former Chelsea star Michael Essien has announced his retirement from international football.

According to the 35-year-old, it is time for a younger generation to take over

He last played for the Black Stars of Ghana at the FIFA World Cup in Brazil (2014).

“If I am called to play for the Black Stars again I won’t honour it. No, it’s not possible,” Essien told GHOne TV.

“This is because I’ve retired from international duty. I even retired before we went to the World Cup in Brazil but I was called back [by coach Kwesi Appiah] to come and help.

“And then in Brazil, they treated me like [something] so I’m not playing for the country again. It’s time for the new generation,” he added.

Essien made his Ghana debut in 2002 and boasts of 58 caps and nine goals.
