The hectic schedule of the international and club football as well as fan abuse has taken another victim in the form of Asamoah Gyan, the striker for the Ghana National Football Team, who has announced his retirement from the international scene.
The 26 year old striker, who currently plays in the United Arab Emirates with Al Ain, on loan from the English Premier Club Sunderland Association Football Club sent an e-mail regarding his unavailability for international selection to the Ghana Football Association or the GFA and this, was confirmed by the officials late on Saturday evening.
