Having by blighted by injuries and weight issues in recent years, the striker hasn’t played active football for several months now.

Speaking as a pundit on SuperSport TV, Gyan said he hasn’t retired, but admitted that he needs to work on his weight to return to active football.

“I haven’t retired yet. If I need to play, I have to shed some weight and be active before [that], and train week in week out and I will be good.

“Body-wise, I still feel young at heart, I’ve still got a lot to offer. The mind is there, everything is alright, but physically I don’t think I am ready for now. I need to work on my body,” he added.

Gyan is currently serving as a football expert for SuperSport for the ongoing 2021 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] in Cameroon.
