The Spokesperson of the Ayew family, Fiifi Tackie, has dispelled reports that Andre and Jordan Ayew have quit the Black Stars.
Reports went rife on Wednesday evening that the Black Stars captain and his younger brother have decided to stop playing for the national team.
However, Mr Tackie took to his social media pages to deny such claims, insisting he just spoke to the brothers on phone.
"Andrè and Jordan Ayew are still very committed to the Black Stars team as they have always been. They will keep donning the Black Stars jersey to represent Ghana and give the team their very best on and off the pitch, as always. We just got off the phone," he wrote.
Andre Ayew and Jordan Ayew, like the rest of their Black Stars teammates have come under intense pressure following Ghana's early AFCON exit.
Meanwhile, the two have had the most of criticisms with many pointing fingers at them for Ghana's disastrous showing.
Andre Ayew will miss Ghana's World Cup play-offs against Nigeria in March, after seeing red in the Black Stars' final game against Comoros.

When I see the kind of strikers Cameroon and Burkina Faso has, I struggle to believe Ghana is at the same level as such teams. They have fast, young and efficient strikers. And we are stuck with Dede Ayew and Jordan Ayew as if they are the ONLY Ghanaian footballers. It is time for us to act as a democratic country and not allow one family to dictate everything for our national team. Dede was forced onto the team in 2008 when he was too young - this was at the expense of Ahmed Barruso and Kwadwo Asamoah. On the first game he started against Cameroun, Ghana lost. Since Jordan joined the team in 2011, we have not scored any important goals. Strikers have come and gone and the team has been rebuilt around these two brothers. Why? We need change!!! These are not the only Ghanaian footballers on the planet!!!!
