Avram Grant sweats over Gyan’s absence for AFCON qualifier

Head coach of Ghana’s Black Stars Avram Grant is waiting anxiously to see if Black Stars skipper Asamoah Gyan will be fit for the friendly against Guinea in Paris and the AFCON qualifier against Mauritius.

The Ghana captain is feared to have suffered a bad injury as he was substituted just after 10 minutes while in action for Shanghai SIPG in the Chinese Super League on Saturday afternoon.

Details of the injury is yet to emerge as SIPG medical team is diagnosing the extent of damage done to the 30-year-old striker.

SIPG manager Sven Goran Eriksson was forced to apply an alteration to his side early in the game as the former Sunderland striker could not continue the game at the Workers Stadium against Beijing Guoan.

Avram Grant is expected to name his squad for the friendly against Guinea in the coming days but will only do so with the full details of the fitness of his skipper.

The team that will be named for the friendly will proceed to play in the AFCON qualifier against Mauritius on the 6th of June.
