Ghana coach sure Black Stars will thrive without Asamoah Gyan

Published on: 14 March 2011

Ghana coach Goran 'Plavi' Stevanovic is confident that the Black Stars will thrive against Congo on 27 March despite the absence of lead striker Asamoah Gyan.

Gyan will not be available for the game in Brazzaville as he is serving a three-match ban after he was sent off against Sudan last September.

In-form Prince Tagoe and Dominic Adiyiah are expected to lead Ghana's attack in the absence of the Sunderland hit-man.

The Serbian told GNA Sports that he has absolute faith in Gyan's replacements and trusts them to deliver the goals for the Black Stars.

"I have 100 percent faith in my players. I believe in their abilities and we can succeed."

Despite Gyan's unavailability, Plavi confirmed that the striker will travel with the team to Congo to motivate his colleagues to victory against the Red Devils.

"Gyan will travel with the team to inspire the rest of the team," Plavi said.

The Sunderland striker has metamorphosed into arguably the most important member of the Black Stars after stellar performances at the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations and the FIFA World Cup in Angola and South Africa respectively.
