Kwesi Appiah to invite Gyan and the Ayews for Ghana’s next clash

The Black Stars coach has made a u-turn to the Ayew brothers and Asamoah Gyan after Ghana’s defeat against Kenya.

Appiah has come under intense pressure after Ghana were stunned by the Harambee Stars of Kenya.

He left out Ghana’s all-time top scorer Asamoah Gyan, Andre Ayew and Jordan Ayew from his 20-man squad that made the trip to Kenya for their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier over the weekend.

It was understood Kwesi Appiah wanted to build a new side and by so doing he aimed at looking beyond the trio whom many believed have been creating tension in the Black Stars.

However, after the Black Stars slumped against Kenya, Gyan and Ayew brothers are back on Kwesi Appiah’s agenda.

“I have good players, who are capable of doing a good job. It is the time for other young players to show what they can do even for future matches. We have a lot of players in Ghana and I am working to understand and know them well.

“It does not mean that the door is closed for the three players, or any other player left out…no, only that we are also giving a chance to others so that we can evaluate the depth and quality of players we have in Ghana. We are just trying the new players and that does not mean those left out are not part of us,” Appiah said.
