Published on: 10 February 2023

Ghana international, Daniel-Kofi Kyereh has been dealt a major injury blow and will miss the rest of the 2022/23 football season.

The talented midfielder only joined German Bundesliga side SC Freiburg last summer in a move from Bundesliga 2 outfit FC St. Pauli.

While he has had a decent campaign so far, he has now suffered a massive cruciate ligament injury.

“Kofi Kyereh tore his cruciate ligament in training and will be out for the rest of the season,” his club, SC Freiburg said on Friday.

The cub statement further explained, “In Thursday's training, Kofi Kyereh twisted his knee in a duel. An examination in the Freiburg University Hospital resulted in the diagnosis of a cruciate ligament rupture. An operation is to follow in the next few days. The attacking player will no longer be available this season.

“We wish Kofi a successful surgery and a speedy recovery!”

Due to his unfortunate injury, Daniel-Kofi Kyereh will not be available for selection in March when Ghana resumes the qualifiers for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
