�Personally, I am working very hard to get myself in good shape for the game which is just three days away,� he told his website AsamoahGyan3.com.
�I was unable to play for my national team because of a slight knock but I am working hard to be ready for this game.�
Asamoah Gyan is chasing further glory in the weekend�s derby clash after making in instant impact since his big money move to China.
The Black Stars captain has scored four in six league matches for Shanghai SIPG despite joining in for the title run-in.
