Ghana captain Andre Ayew and his brother Jordan have arrived in Black Stars camp in Doha, Qatar ahead of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The Ayew brothers were captured in a Tik Tok video shared by Mubarak Wakaso from the Black Stars hotel in Doha.
Andre, despite being based in Doha, arrived late because he was involved in Al Sadd's league game on Monday against Al-Sailiya.
Jordan also arrived late because of club duty as he played for Crystal Palace against West Ham in the Premier League last Saturday.
The duo had the backing of CAF who stated players could play for their clubs until January 3 before leaving for the Afcon.
Fifa rules state that clubs have to release players by 27 December for the tournament, which starts on 9 January, but Caf had agreed players can turn out in official games for their clubs up to 3 January.
Andre and Jordan are likely to play in the Black Stars only pre-Afcon friendly on Wednesday against African champions Algeria.
Ghana will depart for Cameroon after the Alegria game. They will open their tournament account against Morocco on Monday, January 10 before taking Gabon and Comoros respectively in the group stage.
