Dr. Tony Aubynn, a member of the Ghana Football Association Executive Council, expressed his happiness at Asamoah Gyan’s desire to return to the Black Stars, but added that the striker should only be taken into consideration if he is in excellent physical condition and is ready to play.
Gyan, told BBC Sports that he wants to play for the Black Stars in the World Cup in Qatar. The legendary striker last played for Black Stars in 2019 and hasn’t played a competitive match since May 2021.
“For me I was delighted to hear that, everybody wants to see Asamoah Gyan’s revenge against Uruguay, but it should be the Asamoah Gyan who is in top shape and fit to play,” Aubynn told GNA.
Gyan is Ghana’s all-time leading scorer with 51 goals, including six in the World Cup, making him the continent’s leading scorer in the competition.
The Black Stars have been drawn in Group H with Uruguay, South Korea and Portugal.
