Ghana international, Andre Ayew has returned to match action after recovering from an ankle injury.

The Olympique Marseille midfielder and captain of Ghana's Under-20 team opted out of last week's 5-1 win over Angola in the African Youth Championship qualifiers to seek medical attention in France.

However, the 18 year-old has received the all clear by the doctors to return to action.

Andre Ayew has stepped up his recovery after joining Marseille for pre-season training and played in their 3-1 defeat by Istres on Thursday in test game ahead of the new season.
