Striker Gyan 'ready to sacrifice' for Ghana Ghana's striker says he has no problem to sacrifice for his team after playing through the pain barrier in the team's 4-0 victory over Sudan
Asamoah Gyan revealed on Tuesday that he had played through the pain barrier in Sunday's world Cup qualifier against Sudan. The 27-year-old, who opened the scoring in the 4-0 win over Sudan, took part in the game despite suffering a mild thigh injury in a pre-match training session. "I had this injury in training but I had to sacrifice for the team. I felt a muscle and had to go out for someone," Gyan told the Ghana football Association official website on Tuesday. "I am happy we won and I am willing to sacrifice for the team." Gyan expressed his delight over his team's comprehensive victory against Sudan, which came after group leaders Zambia were held to a 1-1 home draw by Lesotho. The Black Stars remained second in Group D with six points, just one point behind Zambia. "It's a great thing for us. We must now concentrate on the next game," Gyan, who plays for Emirati club Al-Ain, added. "Yeah, Zambia drew so it boosted our confidence. We came all out to win."
