Inform Swansea City midfielder Andre Dede Ayew, is set to lead the Black Stars when they take on the Amavubi of Rwanda following Asamoah Gyan\u2019s [substantive captain] fitness issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ayew is making a return to the team after missing out in the Stars’ last two games against Togo and Mauritius respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 25-year-old is set to lead the Black Stars when they take on their Rwandan counterparts in their 2017 AFCON qualifiers in Kigali on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

In an interview on Sports Panorama on Cit FM<\/strong> on Friday, Spokesperson for the Ghana Football Association, Ibrahim Sanni Dara said Asamoah Gyan trained for just a few minutes with the team on Friday but pulled out of the session because of an\u00a0injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can see my knee is swollen but it would all depend on the technical team,\u201d Gyan exclusively told Citi FM’s<\/strong> sports reporter Rahman Osman who is with the team in Kigali.<\/span><\/p>\n

The team doctors are yet to make a definitive statement on whether Gyan will play any part in the game yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cLets wait and see what happens as things could change.\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ayew has been in blistering form for Swansea City where he has scored 3 goals in four games for the Wales side.<\/span><\/p>\n
