Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan returns to Ghana squad

Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has made a controversial return to the national team after more than a year absence.

Gyan, Ghana’s all-time leading scorer, missed the Black Stars surprise 1-0 loss to Kenya in September.

The 32-year-old, who plays for Turkish side Kayserispor, has not featured for the side since the 2017 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Congo.

Ghana host Sierra Leone on 11 October and travel to Freetown to face the same opponents four days later.

There is still no place on coach Kwesi Appiah’s list for the Ayew brothers, Andre and Jordan.

Inter Milan’s Kwadwo Asamoah retains his place in the squad after returning to the team for the 1-0 loss to Kenya after a four-year absence.

The Black Stars loss to Kenya means that all four teams in Group F have three points from two matches.
