Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan has reversed his decision to call time on his international career ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
The development comes after Ghana's President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo urged the 33-year-old Kayserispor striker to reconsider his decision during a phone conversation on Tuesday.
Earlier, the President held a high-power meeting with the leadership of the Black Stars, including head coach James Kwesi Appiah, because of Gyan's shocking decision to retire on Monday.
"A presidential request is one that cannot be disregarded," Gyan said in a new statement on Wednesday.
