Black Stars head coach, Otto Addo, has justified his decision to omit Andre Ayew from his squad for the June international break.

According to him, his decision was in the best interest of the national team.

"As a coach, I have to think about what's best for the Ghana national team," Coach Otto Addo said in an interview with 3Sports.

In the interview, Otto Addo heaped praise on Andre Ayew, describing him as a living legend.

He said he has no doubt that the veteran forward has sacrificed and given so much to his country.

"I think it's a normal question. He's a player. I said it before; he's a legend, a living legend.

"He has done so much for the nation. He sacrificed so much for the nation. He's a good guy, with good character. I mean, he represents Ghana these days like no one has," Coach Otto Addo said.

Despite missing the games against Mali and the Central African Republic, Andre Ayew still has a chance of returning to the Black Stars, according to Coach Otto Addo.
