The 31-year-old, who is currently on loan to Dubai-based Al Ahbi, was reported by match referees to officials.
Previously, Suhail Al-Mansoori of Al Wahda was told he would have to cut his curly perm, whereas in neighbouring Saudi Arabia, goalkeeper Waleed Abdullah was told to cut his “un-Islamic hair” before a match in 2012.
Gyan recently sported a mohawk hairstyle during the Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon where he captained Ghana. His side eventually lost 2-0 to champions Cameron in the semi-final round of the tournament.
