Assistant coach of the Black Stars, George Boateng, has disclosed that the technical handlers of the team are yet to talk to Asamoah Gyan over his World Cup ambition.

The 36-year-old former Ghana captain declared his intentions of participating at the 2022 FIFA World Cup last month.

But his inclusion to the team for Qatar 2022 will largely depend on the Black Stars coach and his technical team.

“Out of respect for the player [Gyan] and a friend of mine as a person, I will prefer to discuss this issue with him in person, rather than sharing with the outside world,” Boateng said, as quoted by Pulse.

“We haven’t spoken to Gyan yet so we will not disclose anything until we have spoken to the player himself.

“We as staff have so much respect for Gyan. As a player and person, he is a very good friend of mine and what he has done for Ghana is amazing. Top goal scorer, six goals at the World Cup, it’s amazing. You can only applaud his achievement."

Asamoah Gyan has been having personal training to stay in shape ahead of the tournament which begins in November.
