Former player of Black Stars, Asamoah Gyan has disclosed his readiness for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
The Ghanaian Skipper told the BBC that, though he had been out in competitive football for about two years due to injuries, he could be the “Roger Milla” for the Black Stars at the global showpiece this year.
He said, “I just need to get my body back in shape, so I have started training and of course and I’ll see how my body reacts to playing competitive football.
“Talent wise, everything is there already, so I just have to prepare physically and then we would see what happens.
“Anything can happen in football, it has happened before in 1994, when Cameroon’s Roger Milla came back from retirement to play in the World Cup. But I haven’t retired yet, I haven’t announced my retirement. I have been out for about two years now due to injury and my body shutting down.”
The last time Gyan donned the national jersey was at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, where Ghana exited at the group stage. The former Sunderland forward has netted 51 times for Ghana in 109 appearances
His last competitive game was for Legon Cities in the Ghana Premier League.
