Ghana will be without the injured duo Asamoah Gyan and Christian Atsu for the final 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Egypt.
Captain Asamoah Gyan left Tuesday's training session complaining of pain in his thigh and after undergoing a scan in Accra, it has been confirmed that the Kayserispor talisman will play no part in the game.

For Christian Atsu, he was a huge doubt after he landed in the country nursing an injury sustained in Newcastle United's premier league game against Southampton.
