Gyan to land in Ghana on Thursday for double engagements

By Patrick Akoto
Asamoah Gyan will arrive in Ghana on Thursday for two important engagements – to attend the funeral of his late mum and also play in the 2014 World Cup qualifier against Sudan.
The Ghanaian captain saw full action for Al Ain in their 2-0 defeat at Esteghlal in the Asian Champions League on Wednesday.
The 27-year-old will be in the company of top officials of the UAE-Pro League champions who are expected to mourn with their bereaved captain this weekend.
Mrs Cecilia Love Amoako Gyan died in November last year through a painful motor accident.
She will be laid in state at her Gbawe residence on Friday March 15 which will be followed by burial service at the St Stephens Methodist Church, New Gbawe in a ceremony which will be attended by high-profile personalities including Ghana President John Dramani Mahama, ex-President John Agyekum Kuffuor and opposition New Patriotic Leader Nana Akuffo Addo.
She will then be flown to her hometown of Mamponteng in the Ashanti Region for final interment on Saturday.
Gyan will then join his Black Stars teammates on Tuesday 19th March in Kumasi for the crucial World Cup qualifier against the Nile crocodile.
His leadership qualities will be required to drive the team to success at the Baba Yara stadium.

I hope all goes well Asamoah Gyan. I am really sorry for your loss.
I think it will however be wise for you to either opt out of the Ghana squad or hand the captains band over to Muntari since you will not be in the right frame of mind to motivate your team mates to victory.
I am truly sorry since I am very much aware that, our mothers are one of the few people who unconditionally loves us from deep within.

Have my our condolence bro. We’re solidly behind you.
Take heart for the lord is with you.
It’s really painful to loose a mother.have my condolence
My condolences. I hope all goes well. However, he should not force himself if he is not mentally ready to play. I think reasonable people will understand this.
