Former Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan believes Andre Ayew will be fine despite being dropped from the squad for the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Ayew was excluded from Ghana's 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Mali and the Central African Republic, as announced by head coach Otto Addo on Wednesday.

Despite having a strong season with Le Havre in the French Ligue 1, the 34-year-old expected to be included in the squad for these crucial matches.

Addo acknowledged that Ayew disagreed with his decision, with reports indicating that the veteran player is unhappy about being left out.

However, Asamoah Gyan, who played alongside Ayew, says the former Swansea City player should accept his omission in good faith.

"I think he should take it in good faith," he told Joy FM.

"He might be angry due to his recent form, but Andre knows how to handle situations like this. He will be fine," he added.

Ghana is set to face Mali in Bamako on June 6 before returning to Kumasi for the home game against the Central African Republic as part of Matchday three and four games.
