Vice president of the Ghana Football Association, Mark Addo has dropped hints about captain Andre Ayew’s call up to the Black Stars for the international break assignments.
According to Mark Addo, Ghanaians shouldn’t be surprised if Andre Ayew does not make the cut for Ghana’s game against Central African Republic in the 2023 AFCON qualifiers.
Black Stars coach, Chris Hughton is expected to name his squad latest by Monday, September 4, 2023, for the game against Central African Republic where the Black Stars will need to avoid defeat to qualify for the tournament in Ivory Coast.
With the media wondering if unattached Andre Ayew will be invited, Mark Addo told Luv FM in an interview that the Captain’s exclusion from the team might be possible.
“Andre Ayew is a phenomenal leader. He fights and leaves everything on the pitch. He’s a key part of the team, he is the captain and the leader, so we will support whatever decision the technical team will take on him.”
“There have been situations in the past where players were not affiliated with clubs but were invited to the national team, so if he [Dede Ayew] does not get an invitation [for the Central African Republic game], to me, it will not be a big deal,” said the GFA Vice President on Luv FM.
Andre Ayew has been without a club since the end of the 2022/23 season of the English Premier League when he left Nottingham Forest.
