Asamoah Gyan diagnosed with malaria at Afcon
Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has been diagnosed with
malaria while on duty at the Africa Cup of Nations
in Equatorial Guinea.

The Black Stars get their Afcon campaign under way
against Group C opponents Senegal in Mongomo, with
Gyan's health still being monitored, having spent
much of Saturday in hospital.

Al Ain striker Gyan was released on Sunday and is
"responding well" to treatment for what is a mild
bout of the illness, according to a statement from
the Ghana Football Association.

"The illness was detected at an early stage and
Gyan is responding well to treatment," read a
section of the statement.

"Doctors will continue to monitor his progress
ahead of the Black Stars' opening Group C match
against Senegal in Mongomo."
