Ghana will be without Captain Asamoah Gyan and winger Christian Atsu in Sunday’s Russia 2018 world Cup qualifier final match against Egypt in Cape Coast.
The duo according to the Ghana FA won’t be available for selection after tests have revealed that Gyan suffered a thigh strain following his injury in Black Stars training two days ago.
