Black Stars Captain Asamoah Gyan could be dropped from Ghana's final 23 man squad for the World Cup qualifier against Uganda due to match fitness.

The Kayserispor striker has been on the sidelines for sometime and was unable to feature for the club over the Weekend due to a recurring thigh injury.

The Turkey-based player was named in the Black Stars 26-man squad for next week's matches against Uganda and Saudi Arabia even though he has fitness concerns.

Assistant Coach of the Black Stars Ibrahim Tanko says the technical team are closely monitoring Gyan's progress and will make their final decision soon.

The Ayew brothers were left behind for the Uganda match because we want to try other players as we did to Wakaso and others, but for Asamoah Gyan, we are still monitoring him,” Tanko said.

“The final squad of 23 for the trip will be announced on Friday and so let us wait”.

The Black Stars know that even with a win in Kampala their World Cup dreams will be over if Egypt overcomes visiting Congo Brazzaville on Sunday.
