Andre, Jordan Ayew retire from Black Stars

Footy-ghana.com understands that Olympique Marseille duo Andre and Jordan Ayew have temporarily withdrawn their services from the senior national team, the Black Stars.

According to our sources, a letter on their behalf was presented to the Executive Committee of the Ghana Football Association earlier today.

It is unclear as to why the two brothers are taking a break, but perhaps it is in reaction to being axed by Black Stars head coach Kwasi Appiah from the 2013 African Nations Cup squad.

Jordan Ayew was excluded from the provisional squad whilst Andre was axed because he could not meet Appiah’s deadline to report to the team’s training camp in Abu Dhabi.
