Ghana coach Otto Addo says his side will need the experience skipper Andre Ayew ahead of their final group game against Uruguay at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The sole member from the side that took part in the match against Uruguay and lost on penalties in the quarterfinal at the 2010 tournament in South Africa is Ayew.
On Friday at 15:30 GMT, Ghana and Uruguay square off at the Al Janoub Stadium. The two teams are competing for a position in the knockout stage, with Ghana needing a victory to guarantee their place in the next round while the Uruguayans are in desperate need of a victory over Ghana to advance.
“Andre will be important for us just like everybody. It’s about a team. He lived it and experienced what happened in 2010,” coach Otto Addo told ghanafa.org.
“We know with team work and hard work we can achieve a lot in this World Cup.”
Black Stars are currently second in Group H while Uruguay lie bottom with only one point.
