Swansea City boss, Steve Cooper, has heaped praise on Andre Ayew for his selflessness in a 2-2 draw with Reading in the English Championship.
The Ghanaian, despite struggling with a hamstring injury, came on for the Swans when they were 1-0 down and found the net.
“Andre is a really good player and person, he thrives on being the big player and we are very happy to have him,” Cooper said of Ayew, who completely sat out Tuesday’s 1-0 loss to Queens Park Rangers.
“The team comes first, not himself, and you could see that today. It would have been great if we didn’t need him, as it would have meant we were comfortable in the game.
“But we did, he was medically cleared to play 30 minutes, and it ended up being a good move thanks to the good work from Andre and the medical team. It helped get the result we wanted.”
He has scored 16 goals this season.
