Andre Ayew didn’t join the Black Stars to Tamale

Black Stars fly out to Tamale without injured Andre Ayew
Andre Ayew was conspicuously missing from the
Black Stars team that boarded a flight to Tamale
for their final 2015 AFCON qualifier against Togo
on Monday morning.

The Olympique Marseille star picked up a thigh
injury in Saturday’s 1-0 defeat in Uganda.

Ayew’s injury is however considered not serious
and that he will be available for selection when
Ghana hosts Togo on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old did not arrive when his brother,
Jordan was dropped off at the airport to join the
entire Black Stars team for the 45-minute trip to
Tamale.

Ayew is expected to join the team later on as he
needs rest to help him recover quickly from the
mild thigh injury.

Asamoah Gyan, who is also tipped to make a
surprise return to action for the Black Stars in
the game against Togo also didn’t make the trip
with the Black Stars.

Ghana remains in pole position to pick one of the
automatic qualification slot from Group E.

The Black Stars only require a point to book their
place in next year’s finals which will now be
staged by Equatorial Guinea.
