General Captain of the Black Stars, Asamoah Gyan, will hold clear-the-air talks with coach Kwesi Appiah in Accra on Tuesday over their standoff.
In an interview monitored by Happyghana.com, Sammy Anim-Addo, Gyan’s spokesperson said ”What happened last week is history and Gyan is committed to playing this role to ensure that the agenda to win the 2019 AFCON is carried through.”
”Gyan is expected in town on Monday night and though they have spoken on phone, he will meet with Kwesi Appiah face to face for the first time since the announcement to reassure him of his commitment before the team assemble to prepare for the tournament,” he added.
Gyan was stripped of the captaincy and ‘elevated’ as General Captain of the Black Stars ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations. This angered the Kayserispor skipper to announce his retirement from the national team with immediate effect.
Gyan later rescinded his decision after President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo intervened.
