Gyan has been sidelined by series of injuries since joining United Arab Emirates club Al Ahly Dabai. The former Sunderland striker has made just eight starts for the UAE side as a result of the recurring injuries.
Asamoah Gyan however was fit for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon and joined the then Black Stars coach Avram Grant and his men for the competition. The captain of the senior national team of Ghana had an injury scare at the tournament in Gabon but regained his fitness to play again for Avram Grant's team.
The Black Stars skipper joined Al Ahly from Shanghai SIPG last summer.
