Hearts of Oak midfielder Emmanuel Nettey has expressed disappointment at the decision by the Ghana Football Association to cancel the 2019/20 Premier League season.

The midfielder who joined the Phobians in December 2019 is sad the league has been decleared null and void after 15 matches were played.

Speaking in an interview the former Inter Allies midfielder said he was hoping the league will resume at some point.

“It was a blow to me because I was expecting the resumption of the league so we can continue from where we left off,” he told Citi sports.

“But then the decision they took we were into it and thought it wasn’t right for football to continue.”

“In as much as it is a blow to me, I have no option than to accept it and slow down on my training section.”

The GFA last week in a marathon meeting anounced the 2019/20 Ghana Premier League season has been cancelled.
