Goal.com reported that it was Management Committee Chairman, George Afriyie, and deputy, Kudjo Fiano, who prevailed on Grant to pardon Ayew.
“Myself and George Afriyie had to intervene and apologise on behalf of Andre Ayew for arriving late in camp because Avram Grant was very unhappy about the player’s late arrival in Spain,” Fiano told Accra-based Happy FM.
“Grant sees Dede as a player who could lead the team in the future and expects him to lead an exemplary life,” he added.
Ayew reportedly came to Seville with a chartered flight after having difficulties in arriving on time, but the Israeli did not accept the excuse.
