Nigeria vs Ghana: Black stars suffer blow as Ayew contracts COVID-19

The 30-year-old was named to Patrick Vieira’s squad at first but was dropped after the test results came in.

The length of time an individual must spend in self-isolation varies according to the NHS, but Premier League players are expected to self-isolate for 10 days.

However, a player can be released from self-isolation after five days if they have two negative lateral flow tests within 24 hours of each other.

However, due to the deadline, he will most likely miss the Super Eagles’ two-legged match.

Following the latest setback, the Black Stars will be without both him and his brother for the crucial games, as Andre Ayew has been ruled out due to suspension.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
