The GFA says Sunderland striker Gyan, who is currently on loan at United Arab Emirates-based team Al Ain, is “frustrated over the verbal abuse he has received since playing for the country at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.”

Gyan had a penalty saved in the semifinal against Zambia earlier this month, which Ghana lost 1-0.

He also missed a penalty in the World Cup quarterfinal loss to Uruguay at the 2010 World Cup.
