Sources from the Ghana Football Association revealed that, the 33-year-old skipper suffered the injury after slipping on his way to the dressing room.

According to the GFA website monitored, it stated that, per the findings of an MRI scan, Andre Ayew will have to return to his club for further check and treatment, as a result, the player will not be joining the team for the return game against Angola scheduled for Monday in Luanda.

In a related development, Ghana will also miss out the services of defenders Denis Odoi, Alexander Djiku, and Mohammed Salisu who were excluded from the squad who travelled to Angola due to varied injuries to each player.
