Ghanaian youngster Jerry Afriyie has returned to Spanish side CD Lugo after cutting short his involvement in the CAF 2025 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
His decision to leave the Black Satellites camp comes following the agreement between his club and the Ghana Football Association for the player to be available for only two group games.
Joy Sports understands the player is already in Madrid having left the team’s base in Egypt.
Afriyie registered one assist in his two appearances at the tournament, setting up Emmanuel Mensah for the winning goal against Senegal in the second group game.
Afriyie came off the bench in opening game against DR Congo where Desmond Ofei’s side were held to a 1-1 draw.
The forward was one of Ghana’s key players en route to securing qualification to the tournament.
His unavailability leaves Ofei with a huge task of replacing the energetic attacker.
Ghana face Central African Republic on Thursday looking to wrap up qualification to the quarterfinals of the competition.
