Former Ghana Football Association [GFA] boss, Dr. Nyaho-Nyaho Tamakloe has reiterated that skipper for the Black Stars, Andre Ayew must keep his place in the team ahead of the 20222 World Cup.

The Al Sadd forward has been criticized for his output playing for the national team in recent times.

Several football fans have called on the head coach of the side, Otto Addo, to keep him on the bench ahead of the Mundial.

However, the Hearts of Oak board member believes the former Swansea City and West Ham United forward has sacrificed a lot for the country.

According to him, Andre is a good footballer, and keeping him on the bench will be totally wrong.

“It is totally wrong to bench the captain of the Black Stars. Totally wrong," he told Accra-based Angel TV as monitored by Footballghana.com.

"Andre Ayew is a very good footballer and has done enough for the team.

"I think we rather have to encourage him and let him play a key part in Qatar," he added.

Andre Ayew is expected to lead the Black Stars as the captain for the side at the tournament that is scheduled to kick off from November 20 to December 18.

Ghana have been housed in Group G alongside Portugal, South Korea, and Uruguay.
