Deputy Black Stars captain Andre Ayew seeks to inspire Ghana to a mighty win over Kenya in the Afrca Cup of Nations qualifier on Saturday.

Ayew, who will captain the team in the absence of Gyan is rallying his teammates for massive victory against the Kenyans after the team suffered defeat to the same opponents last september.

Ghana were beat in Nairobi by the Harambee Stars with several of their top stars including Andre Ayew missing in that game.

However, with a place at the top of the table at stake and revenge on the minds of the players, the team is poised for victory.

The team has been training since Tuesday at the Accra Sports Stadium.

All 24 players have reported to camp and will engage in their last training on Friday before the taking on the East Africans.

After the game against Kenya, the team will face Mauritania in an international friendly three days later in Accra.
