Ghana coach Goran Stevanovic has confirmed that striker Asamoah Gyan is fit to kick off the Black Stars' campaign after making an early recovery from his muscle injury. “Yes he is ready. Gyan is very important for us. He needed to rest for four weeks but he stayed out for 10 to 12 days. He has recovered very soon and I think he is ready for a start,” the Serbian tactician was quoted as saying on Ghanasoccernet.com The 26-year old striker sustained a hamstring injury while playing for Al-Ain in the Qatari league. He needed 3-4 weeks to recover but he made a quick recovery and even took part in a warm-up game just a few days from the African Cup of Nations 2012.
