Olympique Marseille are expecting injured Andre Dede Ayew to start training later this month, the club have announced.

The Ghana international is recovering from a knee injury he picked up last November during a 2014 Brazil World Cup qualifier against Egypt in Cairo.

The 24-year-old underwent surgery and was expected to spend two months in the treatment room.

Marseille expect him to be ready and available for selection in February maybe against Toulouse on 01 February or the following weekend against Bastia.

Ayew last played for Marseille on 06 November, 2013 against Napoli in the Champions League.
