Gyan hands Ghana boost ahead of Friday's crunch game

Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan has handed his country a massive boost by returning to training ahead of their clash with Uruguay in the quarter final of the World Cup.

The 24-year-old has been forced to sit out his country’s last two training sessions with an ankle problem.

He sustained the injury during the win over the United States in the last-16 meeting on Saturday.

But after training with the Black Stars on Tuesday night, the Rennes player is confident he will be ready to try and improve on his tally of three goals in four games in South Africa.

Gyan said after Tuesday’s training session in Mokoase that “The ankle is getting better. I had a knock during the game last time.

“Yesterday I felt something bad and I had to go out (of training) and rest today as well.

“But tomorrow I think I will be fine.

“I will be fine for the game on Friday. It is nothing really bad. I need about two days off and I will be fine.”
