Celta Vigo have announced that Ghana centre-back, Joseph Aidoo, will be sidelined for at least six months.
This was after the 28-man sustained an ankle injury during Ghana’s match against Mexico on Sunday, October 15.
Aidoo was taken off after 28 minutes into the game at the Bank of America Stadium, with the Black Stars eventually losing 2-0.
Upon returning to his club for further assessment, the LaLiga outfit said in a statement on Thursday, October 19 that Aidoo will be out for between six and seven 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 Sunday.
“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.”
It means Joseph Aidoo will not be playing a part in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations next January in Ivory Coast.
