Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan sustained an injury as he played in the Asian Champions League for his Shanaghai SIPG side on Wednesday.

The former Al Ain and Sunderland forward started the game and played an hour as his team were handed a 2-1 away defeat against Melbourne Victory.

Gyan was taken off on a stretcher in the Champions League game after complaining of a groin injury.

Jai Inghan opened the scoring in the Champions League game after half an hour into the game with Wu Lei leveling the scores in the second half for Asamoah Gyan’s side.

On Asamoah Gyan’s injury, the Shanghai SIPG coach said:

“I don't know [if it's a bad injury], I honestly don't know. I hope not. We will see tomorrow when we arrive in Shanghai how bad it is.

Ghana coach Avram Grant will be hoping the injury eil not keep Gyan out for long as he prepares to name his squad for Ghana's AFCON qualifier double header against Mozambique next month
