West Ham have been told that Andre Ayew can be fit in just two weeks… if he takes a herbal remedy back in Ghana

Andre Ayew has been summoned home to Ghana because there is a herbal medicine that can cure his injury in just two weeks, it has been claimed.

The Hammers paid over £20m for their star summer signing from Swansea City and were sick when he was injured at Stamford Bridge in their opening Premier League match.

According to the there is a pressing concern to get Ayew on this herbal treatment plan sooner rather than later by the Ghana officials.

Ayew is not expected back until November but Ghana FA chiefs believe they have traditional remedies in the country that can see to that problem.

It seems a familiar case to that of Robin Van Persie when he flew out to Serbia to have horse placenta fluid rubbed in to his ankle after he was injured on international duty for Holland during his time at Arsenal.

The treatment was not a great success for the Dutchman and it raised many eyebrows that such a high profile player received the bizarre treatment in the first place.

Mariana Kovacevic  believed the remedy that is massaged in to the injured area could heal a player quicker than the standard procedure the players usually go through whilst recovering from long term injuries.

Time will tell if Ayew will benefit from the substance conjured up in Ghana if he decides to travel home but Ghana’s technical director is insistent that he returns.

Oti Akenteng said: ‘There are a lot of herbal medical doctors, who can use traditional medicine to cure Andre Ayew’s injury in just two weeks.”

” I believe that if he comes to Ghana and returns as a fit person, his manager would have no option than to us him.”
