- Hughton, the Ghana coach, has stressed the significance of choosing a team based on his standards and the potential contributions of captain Ayew.
- Ayew was a part of the Black Stars’ last match in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign. Ayew has not been affiliated with any club since his short-term deal with Forest terminated on July 1, 2023.
- Hughton highlighted that from his perspective, perception is not important; rather, what matters is the team he wants and the justification for each player’s inclusion.
- He also mentioned the player’s previous accomplishments, saying he is aware of how many games the guy has played and what he contributes to the team.
- Hughton thinks that there will always be a public dispute over who belongs on the team and who doesn’t.
- With a win over the Central African Republic in their forthcoming encounter, Ghana, who is presently in first place in Group E, would automatically qualify for the tournament in Cote d’Ivoire.
