Gyan quits Ghana

                                                    

Ghana star Asamoah Gyan has quit international football “indefinitely”.

The move follows the Black Stars’ semi-final defeat by Zambia at the Africa Cup of Nations, in which Gyan had a penalty saved.

The player has come under sustained criticism following the Black Stars’ failure to win the continental crown.

Gyan’s decision was confirmed by his manager but the country’s football association (GFA) says it is in talks to try and get him to change his mind.

The GFA statement described his move as being a “temporary break” and said it came because the player was “frustrated over the verbal abuse he has received” since the end of the Nations Cup.

“The GFA is in talks with Mr. Gyan to urge him to reconsider his decision,” it concluded.
