Ghana international, Andre Ayew was dealt two blows on his debut for London side West Ham as he got stretchered off the pitch for an injury while his club also ended up losing the encounter 1-2 to fellow London club, Chelsea.
The Black Stars vice-captain was handed a start by manager Slaven Bilic in the opening Premier League game for West Ham and played 32 minutes before leaving the football pitch.
