Ghana midfielder Andre Ayew is unavailable for Olympique Marseille for Fridayââ¬â¢s Ligue 1 clash against Nantes due to injury.
The talented winger could not make a quicker-than-expected recovery from the thigh injury he picked on international duty last week.
There were reports the 24-year-old was going to be passed fit after starting training with the clubââ¬â¢s fitness coach.
He sat out last Sundayââ¬â¢s 3-1 win over Bordeaux at home.
Ayew suffered a grade I muscle tear during Ghanaââ¬â¢s 1-0 defeat to Uganda in Kampala in a 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
