Asante Kotoko winger Isaack Oppong ruled out remainder of season after knee surgery
The hugely talented forward will spend the next three months on the sidelines with a knee ligament injury.
Asante Kotoko youngster Isaac Oppong has been ruled out for three months after undergoing a successful knee surgery.
The 18-year-old was out of action since December last year after sustaining a knee ligament injury in Asante Kotoko’s 3-2 home loss to their city rivals King Faisal in the first round of the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League season.
Oppong recovered from the injury to feature in Asante Kotoko’s away draw with Hearts of Oak but was later withdrawn from the clubs’ activities following an advise from the medical team of the Kumasi-based club.
The budding talented winger underwent a successful surgery at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) last week and he has been ruled out for twelve weeks.
Oppong became an instant hit to be described as a key performer of Asante Kotoko in the first six matches of the Ghana Premier League after joining them from third-tier club Bectero FC on a three-year deal before the start of the 2021/22 season.
He managed to score three goals and provided three assists in his 7 games for Asante Kotoko.
Asante Kotoko already have Francis Andy Kumi and young goalkeeper Abdul Rafiu Yakubu in the treatment room.
