Asamoah Gyan will be contention for a place in Ghana's team for Sunday's 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Sudan after overcoming an injury scare.

It had been feared that the Black Stars captain would miss the clash after he suffered a thigh problem during a test game on Thursday in Kumasi.

The player was withdrawn as a precautionary measure after complaining of pain.

But a scan on Friday morning revealed no damage.

Despite receiving positive news, Ghana's team doctors will continue to monitor his progress ahead of the game at the Baba Yara Stadium.
