Andre Ayew’s uncle, Solar Ayew, has said that the family has accepted the decision in good faith and is not shocked that the Black Stars captain was left off the roster.
After coach Otto Addo announced the lineup for the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Mali and the Central African Republic, news of Andre Ayew’s exclusion has taken center stage.
Ayew scored vital goals to help Le Havre escape relegation from the French Ligue 1 as the current season came to a close.
The former talent coach for Dortmund disclosed that he spoke with Ayew for a long time to explain his choice.
Speaking on Asempa FM, Solar Ayew remarked, “We’ve taken Andre Ayew’s omission from the Black Stars squad normally. He was earning invites when he was unattached, so his omission will surprise not only me but everyone because he is at the top of his game now. This is normal for the Ayew family.”
“He has picked up his form, so maybe the coach has his reasons for not including him. I have been in the game for long, and I don’t think this is the normal thing to do.”
Despite the exclusion, Andre Ayew will undoubtedly support the team as they aim for victories against Mali and the Central African Republic to revive their World Cup qualification hopes. Ghana started the qualifiers with a disappointing three points from two games.
Ghana will face Mali on June 6 in Bamako, followed by a match against the Central African Republic on June 10 at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi.
