Former Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan feels vindicated after new Ghana midfielder Abdul Majeed Ashimeru's cameo display against Angola.

The Anderlecht star made a huge impact in the 18 minutes that he played as the Black Stars shared the spoils with the Palancas Negras in the AFCON qualifier on Monday.

Gyan, earlier protested after the midfielder was dropped for the World Cup in Qatar last year.

However, it was later revealed the former Red Bull Salzburg player was nursing an injury.

Ashimeru proved Gyan right, after playing a key role in Ghana's leveller at the August 11th Stadium in Luanda. He also provided a key pass to Joseph Paintsil, but brave defending from Carneiro prevented the Genk forward from scoring.

Gyan in a cheeky tweet posted: "who is this guy?"

He later added an emoji of zipped lips, suggesting he was always right about the Anderlecht star.

After several weeks of secrecy surrounding the announcement of the Black Stars squad to face the Super Eagles of Nigeria, coach Otto Addo belatedly released his squad on Tuesday morning.
