Former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan has refuted claims that Sulley Muntari physically assaulted Moses Amah 'Parker' during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Reports emerged suggesting that Muntari and Parker were engaged in a confrontation, leading to Muntari's suspension and expulsion from the Black Stars camp in Brazil.

Addressing the matter, Gyan dismissed allegations that the former Inter Milan midfielder had struck the owner of Medeama SC.

“Sulley [Muntari] never slapped anybody,” Gyan stated in clarification on what happened between Muntari and Parker.

While Gyan refrained from delving into specifics about the incident, he stressed that Muntari did not physically assault Parker.

He added, “I was there; he never slapped anyone. I just don’t want to go into details because I was there.”

In 2022, Muntari apologised to Moses Armah Parker for the incident that happened at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

“I don’t disrespect elders so it will take a lot of things for me to react. Unfortunately, he was sitting in front of me and things got really bad.

“Immediately it happened, and I felt really bad. I wasn’t thinking just about him but also about his daughter, his family, his wife, and all those things.

“It’s not right for someone to disrespect their father. I’ve been looking for him to apologise to him for my behaviour but I have not seen him yet. I will use this opportunity to apologize to him,” Muntari said in his interview with Dan Kwaku Yeboah in 2022.
