Asamoah Gyan has arrived for the Black Stars double matches against Malawi and Liberia

Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan is the first to arrive for next month’s double-header against Malawi and Liberia, MTNFootball.com can confirm.

The Al Ain player jetted into town on Thursday night ahead of the start of the team’s camping on Sunday.

Gyan is yet to play his first match for the Black Stars since ending his six-month temporary retirement in May.

The 26-year-old is primed to captain the side in the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations final round first leg qualifier against Malawi in Accra on 8 September.

Ghana will also play Liberia on 11 September in a friendly in Monrovia.

Welcome back Gyan! Ghana has the squad to return to its winning ways.

Now its up to the Coach to go back to winning ugly. Winning by playing defensive and counter attacking. This the only reason why Ghana lost two straight times to lowly Zambia.

Coach Appiah needs to adopt the Serbian mentor’s defensive style. Play a 4-5-1 formation.

Adam in goal.

Daniel Opare, John Boye, Isaac Vorsah and Jerry Akaminko on defense.

Annan, Kwadwo Asamoah and Agyeman Badu on the defensive midfield.

Christian Atsu and Dede on offensive midfield.

Gyan welcome back sole striker.
