Swansea City face nervous Andre Ayew wait as Ghana star limps off the pitch after AFCON victory

Andre Ayew limped off the pitch after helping Ghana to secure a 3-1 win over São Tomé and Príncipe.

The Swansea City star captained his side during the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday evening.

He played the entirety of the match, although he looked in serious discomfort following the conclusion of the game.

Joy997FM reporter Gary Al-Smith posted footage on Twitter of Ayew being assisted off the field of play following the full-time whistle.

The clip shows Ayew limping while wearing heavy strapping above his left foot and being carried by two members of medical staff.

He wrote: "Last minute challenge on Andre Ayew left him on the turf for a while.

"Initial reports say he will be OK."

Ayew missed his side's previous qualifier against South Africa in a bid to ensure he would not be required to quarantine upon his return to the United Kingdom.

Goals from Nicholas Opoku, former Swan Jordan Ayew and Baba Rahman earned the Black Stars a 3-1 win on Sunday night.

Swansea return to action against Birmingham City on Friday night.
