The injury to Joseph Aidoo has hampered Ghana’s preparations for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Celta Vigo defender Joseph Aidoo will be out for a long time after undergoing surgery in Spain today.
The injury occurred during the international break when Ghana met Mexico at the Bank of America Stadium in the United States.
Aidoo was forced to leave the game after only 27 minutes and was transported to Spain for a medical evaluation.
Celta Vigo said in a statement that the former Inter Allies centre-back will be out of play for six to seven months. As a result, he will be unable to compete in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
According to the club’s press release: “The head of RC Celta’s medical services, Juan José García Cota, operated this morning on centre-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 be out for at least 6-7 months.” The club reiterates its message of encouragement and support for Aidoo, and wishes him a speedy recovery.”
Aidoo has 17 caps for Ghana’s senior national team.
