Ghana international, Joseph Aidoo is close to making a full recovery from his injury at Celta Vigo.

The Black Stars centre-back suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon during Ghana’s friendly match against Mexico last year in October.

After checks by Celta Vigo's medical doctors, it was revealed that he would need at least six months to recover.

"The head of RC Celta's medical services, Juan José García Cota, operated this morning on center 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 remain out for a minimum of 6-7 months. The club reiterates its message of encouragement and support for Aidoo, whom it wishes a full recovery," a club statement from Celta Vigo said.

After three months, Joseph Aidoo has made significant progress and is now close to making a full recovery.

The defender is already doing strength work in the pool and could hit the gym in the next few weeks to take his recovery to the next level.
