Asante Kotoko can confirm that right-back Emmanuel Kotei’s season has painfully come to an end after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
The incident occurred during the team’s Thursday training session and following aΒ series of tests carried out on Kotei by our Medical Team, the right-back was diagnosed with a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament with involvement of both meniscus in his right leg. The player will undergo surgery in the coming days.
Albert Amoah is expected to be out of action for about two months with a partial tear of the anterior talofibular ligament in his right leg.
The forward sustained an ankle injury during the 1-1 draw away at Medeama last week and subsequently missed the club’s FA Cup round-32 win last Sunday.
Amoah will again be absent when our Warriors host debutant, Vision FC, on Sunday Afternoon.
Reacting to the news, head coach Prosper said ”
“It’s unpleasant news losing him and Kotei at this busy stage of the season. I initially had chills when it happened during the game because Albert is naturally a strong boy, but the shout he made during the impact, left me worried, but injuries are part of the game, and we can just hope he recovers quickly, as he has shown with his previous injury.”
