Former Black Stars Captain, Asamoah Gyan, has rescinded his decision to retire from international football ahead of the 2019 African Cup of Nations in Egypt.
Gyan took to his twitter handle to announce the ‘U-turn’, which he said was influenced by a conversation with President Nana Akufo-Addo on Tuesday.
President Akufo-Addo had on Tuesday invited the head coach of the Black Stars, Coach Kwesi Appiah to the Jubilee House over Gyan’s retirement.
