Andre has scored 14 goals while Jordan has 12.<\/p>\n<p>However Sola Ayew says the decisio to drop the two players is borne out of the hatred for the family of the players<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAkwesi Appiah hates the Ayew family but the Ayews we will continue to serve Ghana in spite of the machinations to get them out\u201d Sola Ayew stressed.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports in Ghana, there are two possible reasons behind Appiah&#8217;s decision to drop the brothers.<\/p>\n<p>The first excuse is to punish Andre and Jordan for their antics last month, when Ghana faced off against Congo.<\/p>\n<p>Andre missed the match due to a supposed injury while Jordan posted a photo on social media depicting the striker in a hospital bed &#8211; ruling him out of the tie.<\/p>\n<p>However, both attackers returned to the Premier League the following weekend, with no trouble.<\/p>\n<p>This has led to conspiracies that the pair were attempting to sabotage Appiah&#8217;s match (a hugely important game for the Ghanaians). Nevertheless, the Black Stars ran out 5-1 winners.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, those on the side of the Ayews believe that the decision is part of a 25-year feud with the family &#8211; and Appiah is punishing them because they are the sons of African legend Abedi Pele.<\/p>\n<p>1992 saw Appiah stripped of his national captaincy in favour of Pele &#8211; the Ghanaian FA believing the latter could do a better job.<\/p>\n<p>This sparked a rift between the two, and his latest decision could be Appiah getting his own back on Pele.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related_articles\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<div style=\"clear: both; font-size: 90%; background-color: #eeeaea; padding: 5px; width: 60%; margin-top: 10px;\">\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:0; padding:0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/96124592.jpg\" style=\"padding-right:2px;\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:0; padding:0;width:100%; vertical-align:middle; font-size:11px;\">Courtesy of <b>GHANAsoccernet.com<\/b> &#8211; Ghana&#8217;s leading football news website.
