Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has confirmed that he would not be able to play a part in Ghana’s next set of international friendlies because of injury.

Gyan watched Liberty Professionals beat New Edubiase 2-0 in Dansoman on Wednesday and told the media he would be absent from the next two internationals involving Ghana versus Guinea and a Nations Cup qualifier against Mauritius.

But he says he still expects the country to win both games. “The expectations are high and everybody wants us to win so I pray to God that everyone will be fit so we go out and win. So far am injured, and I think am out of the team so I will wish the players luck so that they make Ghana proud,” Gyan said

Ghana would seal qualification for the 2017 Nations Cup with a point in Mauritius.
