KRC Genk manager, Wouter Vrancken has confirmed that winger Joseph Paintsil will miss their home game against rivals, Gent but expects him to recover soon.
The 22-year-old was substituted against Union SG after picking up an injury despite finding the back of the net.
Paintsil has been on impressive form for the Belgian club scoring four goals with two assists after eight matches played.
However, Vrancken speaking ahead of the game on Sunday confirmed the former Tema Youth star will be out of the game due to an injury but was quick to add the winger will return soon.
"As far as Joseph Paintsil is concerned, he won't be absent for very long," Wouter Vrancken told Het Laatste Nieuws.
“He indicates that it ions going well and the international break is coming. So that brings extra peace of mind.”
Having missed out on the Black Stars squad for the pre-World Cup friendly games against Brazil and Nicaragua later this month, Paintsil is expected to fight to earn a call-up for the Mundial scheduled to be hosted in Qatar from November 20 to December 18.
