Asamoah Gyan suffers injury, doubtful for Sudan clash
Posted On Friday, 22nd March 2013
By Patrick Akoto
Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan is a doubt for Sunday’s FIFA World Cup qualifier against Sudan with a late injury setback.
The in-form Al Ain attacker pulled out of Friday’s training session after complaining of pains in his right thigh.
He suffered the injury during the team’s 5-0 friendly win over second-tier Asokwa Deportivo at the Baba Yara stadium.
The 27-year-old was hoping to shake off the problem but could not bear the pains in the thigh and therefore pulled out of the penultimate training session.
Gyan will undergo a scan on Friday morning to determine the extent of the problem.
The result of the scan will determine his involvement in this weekend’s World Cup qualifier against the Nile crocodile at the Baba Yara stadium.
The potential absence of the former Sunderland hitman will be a huge source of worry to coach Kwesi Appiah and his backroom
Ghanaian fans are waiting anxiously for the outcome of the scan as he is hugely regarded as the country’s best striking option in the last ten years.
Coach Kwesi Appiah could rely on Abdul Majeed Waris and David Accam in the worse scenario Gyan fails to recover in time for the must-win game.

GOOD NEWS GOOOD NEWS.This yawa striker who left competetive league for minow league is captaining black stars only in Ghana this nonsense can happen.
good news for GHANA… at least the dump coach has no other option than to give Waris the playing time to show what he is made of…
Bad news for Gyan, good news for the Black Stars, the Ghanaian nation and its people. Muntari as captain finally! Finally an inspiring leader whose leadership can take the B/S to a higher level!
Gaynasuckernet.com how is this a breaking news? Everybody knows asamoaning Gayn.he just want to sneak out and meet his Gay partners in kumasi.he is rich coz he is a money lover.am sure asamoah will give them a hell of a Gay party.WE ZAMBIANS will always beat Gayna
foolman,fyn hes a gay ba afta finishin his kumasi partnas he wil com to ur village to ass u n fada on one bed. foolish zombie
Stupid Nigerian APE!! Filthy Southern Nigerian DONKEY!! BOKO will finish you you ape!!
thank Jah is Friday,he make my day wow!!!!this is the time 4 him 2 get lost.anyway speedy recovering and all the best.
The voice of the people is the voice of God. We said make Muntari the captain, the dump coach said NO but God said YES. The next thing is to replace the coach and Ghana will be on course.
Brafil27 Good morning.can’t u argue without insulting someone?
foolman read de bullshit u posted b4 i replied u
I’m not really a fan of Gyan recent performance, but, I believe he’s the best we’ve got with his experience. I’m pretty sure you will change your mind and understand that hes the best we have at the moment after the match. I wish him a speedy recovery.
Asamoah is not the best we have!!!. At 2012 AFCON, how many goals did he score? and at AFCON 2013?
He is the best striker to Akwasi Appiah. Even Drogba has been dropped because of dip of form, but Ghana? we love and worship anything. Gyan’s game has tremendously gone down and every informed soccer fan knows it.
Gyan was sent off the last time we played against Sudan in Kumasi. Ghana played with ten men, nobody is saying anything about that. Gyan not playing on Sunday might be a thing for Ghana.
U guys are very wicked…. Why do u even waist your crdt in writin under dis post… Crazy people.. I alwys wish Asamoah Gyan was on of you guys family member u will see how you be bragin wid him…. Fucking people asshollss…
we got oda strikers to do da job,its tym for warris to show us wat he is made of
Ghanaians do u guys think u can beat us Zambian??
Fifa tasks Ghana over zambia
Shall we keep on suffering from zambia oh lord my God–Kwesi appiah wept!after 1-0 lost to chipolopo in wc qualifier
Reasons Ghana players are running away
Andre ayew ”am tired of losing to mighty chipolopolo.4 consecutive times now Mighty zambia keep disgracing an shame us I can’t stand this I retire frm international football prematurely”
Micheal Essien”so GFA think am a fool?zambia are King of africa they are 3 pionts above us and Gfa invites me to join them and suffer in the hands of zambia.they keep losing to zambia.now tell me where they will get those three pionts and leapfrog zambia??.am enjoying myself in real madrid despite am cleaning superstar strike cristiano ronaldo’s boots am ok with that than to suffer with ghana.bcos is only a foreign tactician that can beat zambia not local sisi coach”
Asamoah gyan ”zambia is better than us we keep losing to them.”
What a jack ass, I will like to see your monkey face when you do not qualify for the WC. Stupid baboon.
King who ever you are please stop embarrassing Zambians with weird comments. I really wonder if you Zambian.
Stop disgracing Ghana pls.I know we Ghanains are stupid
GHANA IS ON THE VERGE OF PANIC.BUT WITH THE SERBIANS EVERYTHING WILL HAVE GONE SMOOTHLY…………EVEN WITH OR WITHOUT GYAN!
Hmm wats going on here
Lesotho have vowed to beat Zambia again on Sunday. Katongo said he is afraid of that match. Zambia will slip to second position before meeting Ghana for their funeral. Ethiopia outplayed Zambia with ten men? WOW.
So sad,wish him speedy rovery..time 4 someone to be discovered
At long last the battle has ended and Gyan the dissapointed captain is injured how can a player who plays at UAE can be Ghana’s captain if not because bribe.
GOOD NEWS
Zombians are timid, barbaric, largely uneducated people, and their country is one of the most backward nation on earth. A country with the sixth largest HIV/AIDS infections in the world! We will make sure all zombian chipolopolo players, their technical team including their coach go thorough HIV/AIDS TEST before even been allowed to enter Kumasi Stadium to play against our PRECIOUS BLACK STARS!
No wonder the Chinese are killing the zombians in their own country and taking over that useless country. The least said about a country that raises people king the better. The Chinese will erase all of you barbaric zombians from the face of this earth!
Mind game. We re sick and tired of this malingling thing from these so call stars.
Sorry if he’s really hurt but It’s also a blessing to Gh.. He needs to quit and surrender the captainship..
Ahahahahahahaha the best news so far!!!!!! Speedy though. Where Warris @?? Leeggoooo Gh!!!!!!
YOU WISH!
Good!!! not that im hapi for ur set back buh the nation gets to benefit frm this. unlike you and those who gave u the captainship’s selfish desires
King is a NIGERIAN APE! I tracked him!!! A filthy nasty DOG trying to rile people up!!!
@Ghanaman, how did u track him on GSN site are u the editor?Just tell us how??
I hope we all should be talking football and not causing inter countries war here!
Obssessed muppet!then u must be a palenstine
Ghana man is frustrated that his team hvnt won any afcon for 32years and his country are trailing us by 3 points.at the end of the group qualifiers in june u will look like a total foool
@King,I think you have to talk football, than try to insult a nation as whole.After all African countries football records are there for all to see
Ghana is an average team they nothing.with a mediocre coach and a garbage captain.look at ur performance in the just concluded afcon.
1-throwing away a 2 goal lead against Dr congo
2-penality against mali hahaha
3- beat a lacklustre niger laughable
4- outplayed by minnows in form of cape verde
5- outplayed by burkinafaso despite ref help
6- lost to Mali again JOKE team
@kwame I understand what you are saying but as you can see there are bunch of illiterates in this website people like Ghanaman,self made,texas etc.who can’t argue about football without insulting someone.so stop them before you can stop me BRO!
Again @kwame u said that african countries football record is there for everybody to see.mind u that ur 32years afcon drought coupled with the underachieved that follows it.everybody sees it as well
No problem or worries at all coz Mahatma Otoo will do de thing for us
THANK GOD
