Ghana has been handed a big blow ahead of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations following the outcome of the injury examination of Joseph Aidoo.
Celta Vigo defender Joseph Aidoo has been ruled out of action for several months after undergoing a surgery in Spain earlier today.
The 28-year-old sustained the injury during the international break when Ghana locked horns with the tricolors of Mexico at the Bank of America Stadium in USA.
Aidoo was forced out of the game after enjoying 27 minutes of the game which Ghana suffered a to 2-0 defeat to Mexico. He was flown to Spain to undergo a medical examination on the injury.
Celta Vigo in a statement announced that the former Inter Allies centre-back will not be available for action for six to seven months which means his dream of playing at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations has been dashed.
The club's official statement reads “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.”
Aidoo has capped 17 times for the senior national team of Ghana
