Joseph Aidoo, the Black Stars center-back, has undergone surgery after sustaining an injury during the international friendly between Ghana and Mexico.
The Celta Vigo defender returned to Spain after the game and, following necessary treatment, has been ruled out for 6 to 7 months.
The former Inter Allies and KRC Genk star will be unavailable for the remainder of the season and the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast next year.
A statement on Celta Vigo's website mentioned, "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."
