Black Stars striker Asamoah Gyan has rescinded his decision to retire from international football.
Gyan took to his twitter handle to announce the u-turn, which he said was influenced by a conversation with President Nana Akufo-Addo on Tuesday.
“A presidential request is one that cannot be disregarded,” the striker said on Twitter.
“I have taken the request of His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in good faith, and will make myself available for selection by coach Kwasi Appiah to help win the AFCON trophy.”
Gyan, 34, announced on Monday he was quitting the national team over head coach Kwasi Appiah’s decision to hand the captaincy of the Black Stars to another player, elevating him to the position of General captain.
President Akufo-Addo called a meeting with head coach Kwasi Appiah and other members of the technical team on Tuesday to get an understanding of the circumstances that led to Gyan’s retirement.
