Dede Ayew makes a return

Ghana U-20 captain Andre Dede Ayew has returned to action after recovering from an ankle injury.

The 18-year-old, who plays for French club Olympique Marseille, has been struggling with the injury he suffered in January during the Africa Cup of Nations.

He opted out of last week's 5-1 thrashing of Angola in the African Youth Championship qualifiers to visit his doctors in France.

Dede has now been cleared by the doctors to return to action and he has joined Marseille for pre-season training.

Ayew played in their 3-1 defeat by Istres on Thursday and was disappointed with the result.

?Even if it was only a friendly match, defeat is always difficult to swallow," Dede told KickOffGhana.com.

"The goal is to prepare for the season and it is necessary to stop all the errors."

Dede is expected to be in action when they Play Bastia in another friendly on Saturday.
