Now, there is harmony at long last in the Ghana Black Stars camp after head coach Kwesi Appiah agreed to include Asamoah Gyan in the 29-man provisional list for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Egypt.
Gyan, 33, made himself available for selection after an earlier decision to excuse himself from the tournament and shocking end to his national team role after a row over the captaincy.
The Turkish based forward who plays at Kayserispor will now be part of the team that departs Accra, on Saturday, June 1, for pre-tournament preparations in Dubai, ahead of the competition.
Of the 29 players, the final 23 will be named to represent Ghana at the tournament.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) normalization committee has also lined up two high profile preparatory matches for the Black Stars against Namibia and South Africa.
The 29 players for the Dubai camp consist of three goalkeepers, ten defenders, eleven midfielders and five strikers.
There are seven more personnel added to the team. These are three scouts David Duncan, Didi Mas- Ud Dramani and Sellas Tetteh.
