Swansea City star, Andre Ayew, is going to be sidelined for a couple of weeks, according to coach, Alan Curtis.

The Ghanaian forward was ruled out of Saturday’s disappointing 3-2 loss against Bournemouth due to an ankle injury, although Modou Barrow filled in superbly on the right wing.

Asking if Ayew would be fit ahead of this weekend’s must-win clash against bottom of the table, Aston Villa, Curtis said to the BBC:

I would not have thought so. It’s probably going to be a couple of weeks. He just turned his ankle. He’s probably doubtful for the Villa game.

Ayew has been one of Swansea’s best players this season, after signing for the club last summer for free from Ligue 1 giants, Marseille.

The versatile attacker is currently Swansea’s top-scorer with eight goals, and from the right wing, that’s very impressive.

However, with young Modou Barrow displaying his worth whilst filling in for Ayew on Saturday against the Cherries, the Gambian speedster will most likely gain the starting spot at the Liberty Stadium on the weekend.
