Swansea City Forward Andre Ayew Yet To Gain Full Fitness

Swansea City forward, Andre Ayew reveals he is yet to regain full fitness despite making a return on Wednesday.

Andre suffered a minor injury while on international duty this month.

However, the Ghana international was a 46th-minute substitute for the Jack Army in their 1-1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship at the Liberty Stadium.

"I haven't done too much in the past 10 days. We knew I wasn't 100 per cent ready to start," Ayew explained, as reported by his club's official website.

“If he could have left me out, the gaffer would have done that to prepare me for Sunday, but that's football; you need to be ready.

“As the game was going on, I was preparing to come on. It was important to warm up well and not feel any pain in my hamstring, especially as it's an injury I've had for the first time in my career.

“I had to take care of it, the physio's been doing a great job on me - hours of work trying to get me back as soon as possible.

“I was a bit doubtful for Wednesday night but after this, I'm quite happy with how it felt.

“It wasn't the best, but it'll be better over the next few days and hopefully I'll be 100 per cent on Sunday."

Swansea are set to play as guests of Nottingham Forest on matchday 14 of the Championship on Sunday.

It was Ayew's sixth goal of the campaign for Swansea which keeps him firmly at the top of his side's scoring charts.

He is unarguably the Jack Army's talisman, a status underlined last season when he netted 16 times in 46 league games to finish the term as the club's top scorer and most valuable player.
