Ghana dangerous without Asamoah Gyan and Andre Ayew - Uganda striker

Uganda striker Geoffrey Sserunkuma says Ghana will be dangerous opponents without established stars Asamoah Gyan and Andre Ayew when the two sides meet in Kampala on Saturday insisting the new Black Stars players will be more difficult to contain.

The Zambia-based attacker cited the Black Stars 5-1 win over Congo as evidence of the efficacy of the new breed of players as coach Appiah played the win in Brazzaville without Gyan and Ayew.

Uganda face a Ghana team without favourite sons Andre and Jordan Ayew, who coach Kwesi Appiah omitted from his squad in unclear circumstances.

Captain Asamoah Gyan was dropped from the final Black Stars squad for the weekend tie over injury concerns.

Gyan joins Holland-based midfielder Thomas Agyepong who was also left out for similar reasons while brothers Andre and Jordan Ayew were dropped in favour of new blood.

Sserunkuma says the unknown Ghana star will be difficult to mark or for an effective strategy to be put in place to contain them as they are not popular yet lethal.
