Unfortunately, and ridiculously, Gana’s return to Merseyside has generated controversy. While at PSG, Gana did not play in two matches in which the team’s jersey featured the rainbow flag to support the LGBT movement.

In the first match, Gana was said to be suffering from gastroenteritis. PSG declared him unavailable for the second match due to personal reasons. The player declined to state what the personal reasons were.
