George Afriyie: Kwadwo Asamoah’s injury was unfortunate, he was just about returning to the Black Stars

Vice President of the Ghana Football Association George Afriyie has revealed Kwadwo Asamoah was on the verge of returning to the National team before picking up his latest injury.

The 26-year-old picked up his 8^th injury in three years after limping off on the 89^th minute in Juve's 1-0 victory over Palermo in the Italian Serie A.

'Kwadwo's injury was unfortunate because it happened at a time he had agreed to play for the National team again,' George told Accra based Citi-fm

'He is a player I know very well and this will be a big blow to everybody who is associated with him.'

'We are with him in prayers and I don't know how long he will be out but one thing is certain and that is we are with him in prayers.'

'We hope that he is able to recover in time to join his colleagues once again.'

Ghana is set to begin the 2018 World Cup qualifiers against the Cranes of Uganda on the 7th of October 2016.
