Bust up with Andre Ayew denied

The Ghanaian FA has dismissed reports claiming that Asamoah Gyan has stormed out of Black Stars’ 2017 Africa Cup of Nations camp on the night before their crunch clash with Uganda in a dispute with West Ham’s Andre Ayew over captaincy.

The GFA was forced to issue a statement on Twitter after a website published the sensational news claiming Gyan has left the tournament in Gabon after the bust-up with the West Ham record transfer signing.

The report claimed that there was a major run-in between the two before during the team’s dinner on Monday night in Port Gentil. However the GFA was quick with its response issuing a series of Tweets to assure Ghanaians that the news is untrue and the players are focused on defeating the Cranes in Tuesday’s Group D match.

“Promptly ignore false report that Asamoah Gyan has left Ghana camp at Africa Cup of Nations in a dispute with Andre Ayew,” the GFA statement on Twitter read.

“All players resting for match against Uganda after this evening’s prayers. The Black Stars are united and focused.”
