Former midfielder Sebastian Barnes calls for Ayew brothers drop from Black Stars
Sebastian Barnes, who is a former midfielder of Ghana has stated that it is time the Ayew brothers are dropped from the senior national team and start building the team with young players.
In recent days, Andrew Ayew and his brother, Jordan have come under the slaughter board due to their recent performance for the Black Stars, with the former claiming that senior players would be untouchable ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The Ayew brothers were handed starts against Brazil but rarely impressed though Andre Ayew struck the woodwork in the second half.
The two were part of the wholesale players dropped from the starting lineup in Ghana’s 1-0 victory over Nicaragua last Tuesday in Spain.
Ghana will start their World Cup campaign on November 24, but Barnes believes the West African giants need fresh blood and some youthful exuberance in the team.
“I’m not against the Ayew brothers but it’s time for Ghana to build a formidable side with new young players,” he told Accra-based Happy FM.
Black Stars will play Switzerland in an international friendly on November 17 before starting their World Cup campaign on November 24, with the pair expected to make the final squad ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar which begins from November 20 to December 18.
