Ghana coach Appiah assures Ayew of his Black Stars future
Posted On Friday, 11th January 2013
Andre Ayew remains key to Ghana's plans
Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah says Andre Ayew remains a key component of his team despite excluding him from the Nations Cup.
Appiah axed the 23-year-old from his provisional list for failing to meet the reporting deadline to camp in Abu Dhabi.
Ayew picked up a hamstring injury last Wednesday while training with his French Ligue 1 side Olympique Marseille.
He was expected to report early for the Black Stars medical team to assess him but his delays irked Appiah.
There are fears, his relationship with the head coach is strained and that might jeopardize his international future.
But Appiah has moved to dispel all that.
“I have personally explained the rationale behind the decision to Andre and I will continue to count on him in future matches if he is fit,” Appiah said.
Ayew has been a key player for Ghana since breaking into the team at age 17.
He has played in three consecutive Africa Cup of Nations finals.
The second son of legend Abedi Pele captained Ghana’s U20 to win the 2009 African and World Youth Cups.

Where are the haters?
That’s what a national coach suppose to do. Akwasi Appiah has taken the right step to stop all the accusations, blames and insults. I like that.
But Appiah made this statement the very day he axed Andre from the Team. This website made it appear as if it is a new statement coming from the coach . Bad journalism
Bad journalism indeed, they capitalize on the bad news to blow it out of proportion – marketing purposes. They could have trumpeted Appiah statement the more, but the reverse was the option.
Salute appiah…
Bingoo…i thought as much,infact all i can say is J.Akwesi Appiah has succeded in eliminating the two Ayew brothers from the team and now he turns his back to thaws the heart destroyed by him…no one wishes bad luck for him though but woe betides him to come home empty handed he would have himself to be blame bitterly,and he is already aware of what shall follow next..traitors!!!!
Yes coach he does have future wiv the team cos he’s very young and talented but u don’t ……lol
