Former Black Stars midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang Badu insists that Asamoah Gyan can't be ready physically to play at the World Cup.
Asamoah Gyan has reiterated his dreams of featuring for Ghana for the fourth time in Qatar.
The 36-year-old has been inactive after ending his injury-laden one-year stay with Legon Cities in the 2020/21 season.
Ghana will face Uruguay, South Korea and Portugal in the group stage.
Asamoah Gyan is the record all time goal scorer for the Ghanaian national team with fifty-one goals.
Emmanuel Agyemang Badu says the former skipper for the Black Stars, Asamoah Gyan, won't be ready for the global showpiece later this year.
"From my side, I don’t think [Asamoah] Gyan will be ready [for the World Cup]," Agyemang-Badu told Joy Sports.
"Training alone and training with a club are different. He knows the stage [World Cup] more than me. He has been there more than me. He has been there three times, he has been the captain in 2014 so he knows the kind of stage it is.
"Training alone two-and-half months before a tournament like this – for my experience I have when I have an injury for six months and came back it took me like three or four months before I got better.
"I don’t think he will be ready for the World Cup," he concluded.
