EXCLUSIVE: Ghana captain Andre Ayew arrives for 2023 AFCON qualifying games against Madagascar and Central African Republic

Andre Ayew has already arrived in Accra ahead of next month’s 2023 AFCON qualification series clashes with Madagascar and the Central African Republic.

The 32-year-old was spotted at the Nania Park in Legon on Wednesday as he watched his father’s team – Nania FC – took on Kwaebibirem in the Division One League.

Though head coach Otto Addo hasn’t named his announced squad for the two games yet, Ayew who is the captain of the Black Stars cannot be left out.

The Al Sadd attacker missed the 2022 FIFA World Cup final round qualifying games against Nigeria in Kumasi and Abuja due to suspension.

Ayew has been capped 102 times for the Ghana senior national team after making his debut for the West Africans in 2008 under French trainer Claude Le Roy.
