Crystal Palace forward Jordan Ayew
Crystal Palace forward Jordan Ayew was left out of the team that played Brighton in Sunday’s M23 derby in the English Premier League for fear of contracting coronavirus while playing for Ghana.
At best, the Black Stars forward could isolate himself following the discovery by Ghanasoccernet.com that there was a widespread outbreak of the deadly disease while on international duty last week.
Crystal Palace coach Roy Hodgson has yet to comment on the absence of his star man, who was voted the club’s best player last season.
But with no known injury or suspension, Ayew’s absence is suspect as he is a first-choice player for the English Premier League team.
European clubs are on high alert after up to five Ghanaian internationals tested positive for the coronavirus after playing Mali and Qatar in Antalya, Turkey.
Vitoria Guimaraes left-back Gideon Mensah, Spanish defender Joseph Aidoo, TSG Hoffenheim’s Kasim Nuhu and Besiktas midfielder Bernard Mensah contracted the virus during their stay at the camp.
Trabzonspor forward Caleb Ekuban has been hospitalized in Turkey after showing strong symptoms of coronavirus with a very high temperature.
