Black Stars head coach, CK Akonnor has refused to rule out a possible return of Asamoah Gyan to the team ahead of 2021 AFCON in Cameroon.
Gyan has been out of the Black Stars since AFCON 2019 where Ghana was eliminated in the knockout stage of the competition.
Since then, many have been calling for a possible return of the legendary striker to the Black Stars team as the country seek to lift the AFCON trophy next year after forty years.[ads2]
Speaking at a press conference in Accra on Friday, coach Akonnor stated that he is still monitoring the progress of the former Sunderland attacker but will only be given the Black Stars call-up only if he impressed.
“Asamoah Gyan has made it clear that he wants to. He’s an experienced man and knows what to do for him to get into the team,” Akonnor told pressmen at a conference on Friday.[ads3]
“Once he does, he’s a Ghanaian and he’s done a marvellous job in the past. So, we’ve had a bit of discussion, he knows what to do. I’m also watching him closely. And not just him but any other person that has the chance to come.
“The other day, I invited [Frank] Acheampong who is always one of them, who is also out of the team for quite some time but unfortunately there were issues not permitting him to come. So, it is open for everybody.”
Asamoah Gyan is currently with Ghana Premier league outfit Legon Cities, a club he joined last season but failed to score a single goal after six appearances.[ads5]
