AFCON 2015: Gyan returns against Algeria


Ghana got a timely boost ahead of its crucial game against Algeria with the return of captain Asa­moah Gyan to training on Tuesday.

The Al Ain ace missed the opening Group C de­feat to Senegal on Monday due to illness.
Gyan was sorely missed in the game as the Black Stars threw away an early lead to lose 2-1 to Senegal.
Avram Grant’s side is however likely to profit from the return of his pro­lific captain for Friday’s must-win clash against Al­geria.
Gyan did some light shake up with the team on Tuesday at a session which was closed to the media and the public.
The 29-year-old was expected to return to full-scale training with the side today ahead of the game against Algeria.
Ghana is desperate for a win following its opening group defeat to Senegal to resurrect their campaign in Equatorial Guinea.
The Black Stars face an early exit if the team is un­able to secure the desired result against the tourna­ment favourites on Friday.
