Ghana captain Jordan Ayew has sparked reactions on social media after a moment from a training session at Nania Park involving a young player went viral.

In the video circulating on social media, Jordan is seen controlling the ball during a training exercise when a young opponent attempts to win possession with a challenge.

The former Crystal Palace forward immediately reacts, appearing unhappy with the nature of the tackle and gestures towards the player.

Although the challenge did not appear to result in any contact or injury, Ayew’s reaction caught the attention of viewers, with many debating whether the youngster’s attempt was overly aggressive.

Some fans questioned the 34-year-old’s response, arguing that the young player did not even touch him and was only trying to compete for the ball.

Others, however, defended Ayew, explaining that as a senior player preparing for the new season, he has every reason to be cautious about challenges that could lead to injuries and affect his fitness.
