  • Former Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan remains confident the Black Stars will bounce back after defeat to Morocco
  • The country's all time leading scorer missed the Nations Cup but works as a pundit on DSTV's SuperSport channel
  • Ghana will next face Gabon on Friday, January 14, 2022 before the group's final game against Comoros next Tuesday

Legendary Ghanaian footballer, Asamoah Gyan has said the Black Stars have a group of young and good players that can recover from the opening day defeat to Morocco at the Africa Cup of Nations.

An 83rd minute strike from Sofiane Boufal sunk Ghana's Black Stars in the Group C opener on Monday evening at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium.

However, Gyan, who now works as a pundit on SuperSport stated the Black Stars will improve as the tournament progress.

"I have confidence in the Ghanaian team, although we are young, we are playing good football, today wasn't the best of football but I'm sure we going to improve in the next game," he said on SuperSport.

The Black Stars next play Gabon, who defeated Comoros Island in their first game with star players Pierre Emerick Aubamayeng and Mario Lemina, after they contracted COVID-19.

They still remain doubts for the Ghana game until they return negative of the virus.

Ghana's quest for a fifth AFCON title has not started in the best possible way, but with two games remaining in the group, the team can still progress to the round of 16.

Meanwhile, Asamoah Gyan is likely expected to return to the pitch after the Africa Cup of Nations since he has not announced his retirement yet.
