Asamoah Gyan

Gyan open to placenta treatment
Asamoah Gyan is open to treatment from Serbian
placenta healer Mairana Kovacevic as Ghana pulls
all the stops to get him fit in time for the 2012
Nations Cup.

The striker, Ghana's most important player by many
people's reckoning is facing a race against time
to get back in shape for the opening game on
January 24 against Botswana and for the subsequent
games in the campaign.

And the Ghana Football Association desperate to
have Gyan available are engaging the services of
Kovacevic who has worked with Arsenal striker
Robin Van Persie in the past and the Black Stars
at the World Cup to speed up Gyan's recovery.

"The head coach has spoken to me about her and
talking about her history she has been able to
heal more Premiership players and during the World
Cup she worked with us and according to the
players it worked so I can't wait to meet her,"
Gyan said on arrival in Accra from his UAE base.

"Maybe it will work because I also want to play in
the Nations Cup; I want to help my country. It's
been a while since we won the trophy which is what
everyone is expecting.”

Gyan picked up a second degree hamstring injury in
a league game for Al Ain last week and is at least
two weeks away from being able to run and train
again with the ball.

Medical sources within the Black Stars are
confident he will recover in time to play a part
in Ghana's campaign but admit the opening games
against the Zebras of Botswana might come too soon
for the striker.

Gyan has a goal scoring rate of a goal every two
games at international level for Ghana and scored
three times enroute to the Nations Cup.

He scored six goals out of Ghana's tally of nine
at the 2010 Nations Cup and is deemed fundamental
to Ghana's campaign especially with goal scoring
traditionally Ghana's major problem at
international level.
