Ghana attacking midfielder, Opoku Agyemang has suddenly revealed that he has been inactive since 2012 due to injury.

Agyemang was touted as one of the brightest footballers for the country after he impressive performance with the National U-20 team.

He also helped the senior national team, the Black Stars to finish second in the Africa Cup of Nations behind Egypt.

Agyemang had the world at his feet and his career was supposed to move on to achieve more, but a plague of injuries halted his development.

"I spent more than $100,000 on my injury but to no avail. I have not played football since 2012," he revealed in an interview with Kumasi based Angel FM.

The former Ashgold attacker got a long-term injury when he was sidelined for eight months in 2010 after tearing anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) which ruled him out of the 2010 Fifa World Cup finals.

Agyeman returned to feature for his club side Al Sadd in the Asian Champions League for 44 minutes.

On July 1, 2012, Agyemang signed for Bulgarian side Levski Sofia but had his contract terminated due to health problems.

Opoku Agyeman now 30, has sadly spent his prime years on the treatment table due to series of injuries, hopefully, he might get another shot at playing regularly again.

The attacking midfielder was part of the Black Satellites history-making squad that won the 2009 FIFA Youth Championship in Egypt.
