Ayew sweats it out

Slaven Bilic has been told by Andre Ayew that his thigh injury “is not a big one.”

Speaking after the player had left the action after just half an hour the manager  said: “Ayew has a thigh injury. He told me it is not a big one, but you never know and he will have a scan on Tuesday and we have to wait for the result of the scan to know how long he will be out.”

He added: “Feghouli picked up something against Juventus which we didn’t think was an injury and he trained for a week, but he missed tonight because he is injured.”The manager and squad travel to Romania on Wednesday for a UEFA Europa League play-off round first-leg tie with Astra Giurgiu on Thursday evening.
