Ghana captain, Andre Ayew has insisted that experienced Black Stars players have an advantage over new players as far as making the final squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup is concerned.
Speaking to Aljazeera, the Qatar-based forward admitted that the inclusion of new players into the team has made positions in the squad very competitive.
“The newcomers are talented, but we already have a strong team that qualified for the World Cup, so every position is competitive.
“Apart from senior players who may have an advantage, I believe no one is guaranteed a place in the squad just yet,” Andre Ayew shared.
The Black Stars captain added, “Everyone must prove their quality on the field and everyone has a chance, giving the coach more options and solutions, and formations, and I believe it is beneficial to have new players with the right mentality.”
Having featured for Ghana in last Friday’s friendly match against Brazil, Andre Ayew is in line to play against Nicaragua in Tuesday’s game as well.
