\"AsamoahAsamoah Gyan, Ghana captain<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ex-Ghana defender Samuel Osei Kuffour says the Black Stars will have faint hopes of winning the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations without injured captain Asamoah Gyan.<\/p>\n

Gyan is racing to be fit for Sunday’s quarter-final clash against DR Congo after he was substituted in Wednesday’s 1-0 defeat to Egypt.<\/p>\n

The inspirational captain is suspected to have picked by a groyne injury which could sideline him for days.<\/p>\n

Kuffour, who is a pundit on Pay TV channel SuperSport, highlights Gyan’s pin-in-a-grenade role.<\/p>\n

”My worry is that how long will Asamoah Gyan take to recover and play the other game?,” the ex-Bayern Munich star said.<\/p>\n

”When Jordan plays around him, he always plays better because he makes the run and scores the goals. The team will miss him and I will look at what the coach will bring out against DR Congo.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
