Laryea Kingston has reacted angrily to suggestions that he is not committed to his country.

Reports emanating out of Ghana suggest the Hearts midfielder could be dropped from the national squad for crucial upcoming 2010 World Cup qualifiers.

He has been accused of being egotistical and not willing to give his utmost for the Black Stars' cause.

National coach Rajevac Milovan is also said to have grown tired with Kingston's disruptive attitude.

"Milovan and his technical team are not happy with the recent performances of Laryea and his lifestyle off the pitch, and are therefore having second thoughts about including him in the squad for the game with Benin (on 29th March)," read a report in Daily 90mn.

"They think his work rate has sunk very low and that has given problems to the defence who have to work extra hard to cover for him."

Sacrifices

Kingston, unsurprisingly, is not happy with these slurs on his character and has made it clear that he remains dedicated to helping his homeland be as successful as possible.

"These are just rumours," he told skysports.com.

"I love playing for my country and I have made a lot of sacrifices to play for them.

"I always give my best for my people, I am not a bottler.

"Whoever has a problem with me should tell me straight. Until then I am available for the Black Stars
