The experienced playmaker has been left out of the Black Stars squad list for the upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Ghana coach Otto Addo has omitted Andre Ayew from his squad list for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Mali and the Central African Republic, Kickgh.com can exclusively report.
Ayew, who has captained the four-time African champions since 2019, has been excluded from the team ahead of two matches slated for June.
Kickgh.com can exclusively report that the 34-year-old attacker is among the list of players who were not invited by Otto Addo for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
He had an incredible campaign at Le Havre in the just-concluded season, where he managed to score six goals in 20 matches across all competitions after joining them in November 2023.
Ayew remains the most-capped player of the senior national team of Ghana, with 120 appearances and 24 goals to his credit since making his debut in 2007.
