Asante Kotoko youngster, Isaac Oppong, is set to miss the rest of the season after undergoing successful knee surgery.
The promising 18-year-old has been given 12 weeks to recover and regain his full fitness, which means he will miss the rest of the league matches for the Porcupine Warriors.
In December last year, Oppong sustained a knee ligament injury during a league match against King Faisal.
He did recover in February to feature in Asante Kotoko’s away draw with Hearts of Oak but was later withdrawn from the clubs’ activities following advice from the medical team of the Kumasi-based club.
According to reports, the forward underwent successful surgery at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) last week, and he has been given time to recover.
He became an instant hit and delight to watch for Asante Kotoko in the first six matches of the Ghana Premier League after joining them on a three-year deal from third-tier club Bectero FC before the start of the 2021/22 season.
He has scored three goals and provided three assists in his seven appearances for the club.
