The Black Stars of Ghana will miss key defender Joseph Aidoo during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
The centre-back picked up an injury last Saturday during the international friendly match against Mexico.
Following an assessment by his club Celta Vigo, it has been announced that Joseph Aidoo will be sidelined for at least six months.
“The head of RC Celta's medical services, Juan José García Cota, operated this morning on center back Joseph Aidoo, who suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in a match played with his national team last Saturday. The intervention, which passed without complications and took place early in the morning at the Fremap Hospital in Vigo, consisted of the reconstruction of the tendon with reinforced suture and the application of growth factors
“The light blue defender will remain out for a minimum of 6-7 months. The club reiterates its message of encouragement and support for Aidoo, whom it wishes a full recovery,” the Spanish club announced on Thursday, October 19.
With the 2023 AFCON scheduled to be played in January-February 2024, this timeline will not favour the defender.
The centre-back will not recover in time to play for Ghana at the continental tournament.
