Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan has declared himself fully fit to return to action for club Al Ain which means he will be ready to play for the Black Stars at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations if he maintains his fitness.
The Black Stars captain who turned 29 on Saturday has not played in over a month due to a thigh injury which sparked fears about his availability for January's tournament in Equatorial Guinea.
The injury kept him out of Ghana’s final 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Uganda and Togo.
He has also not been able to feature for his club during this period.
But the former Sunderland hitman says he now feels very good having contemplated playing for the Black Stars in the ultimate 2015 AFCON qualifier against Togo.
“I feel very good now,†Gyan said.
“Even I wanted to play in the game against Togo but the doctor thought it was a big risk to take so I didn’t play.
“I have been working with the ball for some time now and I think I am ready to play.â€
