ACCRA (Reuters) - Ghana striker Aasamoah Gyan has bowed to a presidential request to make himself available for next month's Africa Cup of Nations just 48 hours after announcing his international retirement.

Gyan quit the national team on Monday, seemingly unhappy at having the captaincy taken away from him despite having not played for Ghana since September 2017 due to injury.
