Nottingham Forest Manager Steve Cooper confirmed yesterday at a press conference that Black Stars captain André Ayew (Dede) injured himself during the international break with the national team.
However, the coach did not provide a definitive response on the Ghanaian captain’s availability for the Reds.
“Serge Aurier, André Ayew and Gustavo Scarpa have picked up some injuries over the break as well. We’re not sure how long they will be out for or what their availability will be for the next few games,” he disclosed.
After suffering a knee injury on Thursday, March 23, Ayew was ruled out of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Angola. Ayew slipped on his way to the dressing room and injured his knee, prompting him to return to his club for further treatment.
Forest will need all three points in this weekend’s Premier League survival match against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the City Ground.
Forest are 16th in the Premier League table with 26 points, with only three points separating them from bottom-placed Southampton. The Ghanaian is critical to the Reds’ chances of avoiding relegation.
