Palace drop Jordan Ayew from FA Cup squad amidst COVID reports

The striker could miss at least one, if not both, of Black Stars World Cup playoffs games against Nigeria.

Jordan Ayew is now a major doubt for Ghana’s crucial 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifying playoffs with Nigeria.
The striker has reportedly tested positive for COVID-19.
Ayew was billed to be in action for Crystal Palace in their FA Cup quarterfinal game against Everton on Sunday.
But the 30-year-old has been left out of the match-day squad by manager Patrick Vieira following the unwelcome positive case.
Also, compatriot Jeffrey Schlupp – who will be free during the upcoming international break – did not make the Eagles squad due to suspension after picking up two bookings in the FA Cup this season.

Jordan Ayew – just like his other international mates playing for their respective clubs on Sunday – was expected to head straight to the Black Stars camp in Accra after the FA Cup game.
Ghana play Nigeria in Kumasi on March 25 and the reverse leg in Abuja four days later.
