Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan is confident the national team can fill the void left by injured star players Michael Essien.

The Chelsea man has been ruled out of the tournament because of a knee injury he suffered in January in the African Cup of Nations but Gyan believes the Black Stars have enough quality to cover him.

"We have an all-round team," he said.

"I'll take you back to Angola where we lost some players but the team was able to make the final.

"As a group we are okay but we lost him (Essien) so we just have to concentrate on the future."
