Sports fans will have to wait until later today to know if Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan can play in Ghana’s last AFCON qualifying match against Togo, after the captain was sourly missed in a previous game.
GFA Communications Director Saani Daara told myjoyonline.com’s Nathan Gadugah “today we have Asamoah Gyan in camp. Doctors will have to decide if he is fit.”
Ghana’s Black Stars will renew friendly hostilities against Togo’s Hawks on Wednesday after a first round encounter in which Ghana won in Lome, Togo’s capital.
Ghana needs a draw, Togo needs a win in this last qualifying encounter which will determine which two teams will make out of Group E to join 14 other nations in Equatorial Guinea next January. The other team in the group is Guinea.
The group became wide open after Ghana’s game-changing loss against Uganda last weekend. Asamoah Gyan who was absent from the game was missed. Stats show the Al-Ain striker has scored more goals away than goals in home matches.
Captained by Marseille’s Dede Ayew the Black Stars lost 2-1. The stand-in captain will miss the Togo encounter, making way for another stand-in captain, Agyeman Badu who plays for Italy’s Udinese. It will be the first time he will captain the Black Stars.
But this statistic will have to wait a while longer if Ghana’s record goal scorer is fit for the game.
