Ghanaian physical trainer and CEO of Train Like a Pro GH, Totti Laryea has revealed that he can help former Captain of the Black Stars Asamoah Gyan to regain his fitness in order to play for the Black Stars in the 2022 World Cup qualification play-offs against Nigeria.
The Black Stars have been drawn against the Super Eagles as they vie for one of the five African slots at the World Cup in Qatar later this year. The first league is slated for Thursday March 24, 2022 at the Cape Coast Stadium in Cape Coast whereas the second leg takes place three days later at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja.
The winner of the tie will represent the continent at the World football showpiece which is scheduled to take place from November 21, 2022 to December 18, 2022 in the Gulf region.
However, following the abysmal performance of the Black Stars at the just ended AFCON, many Ghanaians have stated that the former Captain of the Black Stars ,Asamoah Gyan should be recalled into the team against the Super Eagles.
But the former Sunderland forward who returned to the Ghana Premier League last season when he joined Legon Cities on a one-year deal, a series of niggling injuries restricted him to just seven appearances for the Royals in all competitions.
The 35-year-old, who is hoping to return to active football early this year, is still working on overcoming his injury worries that have kept him out of active football for months.
Speaking in an exclusive interview on HS TV , Totti Laryea revealed to the host of the show Lawson Nii that he can help Asamoah Gyan to regain his fitness to play against Nigeria.
