“But I haven’t retired yet, I haven’t announced my retirement, I have been out for almost two years now due to injuries and my body shutting down.
“I just need to get my body back in shape, so I have started training of course and I’ll see how my body reacts to playing competitive football. Talent wise, everything is there already, so I just have to prepare physically and then we’ll see what happens.”
Gyan added, “Honestly, I haven’t spoken to anybody yet, it’s part of the plan. I just want to see how my body reacts first.”
“My manager and I have been talking behind the scenes, so we just have to make sure we know what we are doing.
