The Ghana skipper revealed he hadn’t been 100 percent before the opener against Morocco.

Andre Ayew will be fit to start for Ghana against Gabon on Friday despite not being 100 percent ahead of their opening fixture against Morocco, according to head coach Milovan Rajevac.

The Black Stars skipper told GOAL after the match — a 1-0 defeat following Sofiane Boufal’s late winner — that he hadn’t been 100 percent heading into the fixture, and following a head injury sustained by the captain during the bout, there were concerns that he wouldn’t be in contention to feature against the Panthers.

However, Rajevac has confirmed that the experienced Ayew will be available for the Group C showdown at the Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo on Friday.
