AS FAR's striker, Bernard Morrison, encountered a substantial setback as he sustained a serious injury during a training session preceding their impending clash against Wydad in the Moroccan Professional League's tenth round.
The Military Club officially confirmed the extent of the injury suffered by the Ghanaian player, disclosing a cruciate ligament tear in a statement issued on Sunday. The Royal Army's medical team, after conducting an MRI diagnosis and comprehensive tests, projects Morrison's absence for an estimated six months.
Regrettably, this timeframe effectively spells the conclusion of Morrison's participation in the current season. In the upcoming days, the player is scheduled to undergo surgery to address the significant injury.
Morrison's journey to recovery will undoubtedly be arduous. Having enlisted in the army last summer based on the recommendation of Tunisian coach Nasr al-Din al-Nabi, who had previously collaborated with Morrison during the player's tenure with Tanzania's Young Africans in the preceding season.
The Ghanaian striker boasts a diverse football history, having showcased his skills for various clubs, including Tanzania's Simba, South Africa's Orlando Pirates, Congolese Mazembe and Motema Pembe, in addition to Ghana's AshantiGold.
This unfortunate injury deals a substantial blow to both Morrison and AS FAR, forcing them to navigate the remainder of the season without the valuable contributions of one of their key players. The impact resonates not only on an individual level for Morrison but also significantly influences the team dynamics of AS FAR.
