However, a tweet on the Ghana Football Association’s (GFA) twitter handle indicates that he sustained a thigh injury at training on Wednesday, putting his participation in doubt.
The Ghana FA tweeted: “Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan pulled out of Black Stars training this evening in Cape Coast with what looked like a thigh injury. He will undergo tests in Accra tomorrow to determine the extent of injury.”
The Black Stars have failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup following a string of below-par performances during the qualification phase.
Egypt, though, have already booked a ticket to the Mundial after topping group E, rendering the game against the Black Stars a dead-rubber.

Black Stars coach Kwesi Appiah has indicated that he will use the games as a means to assess some of the new players in his team.
The Black Stars will play the Pharaohs at the Cape Coast stadium on Sunday.
