Asante Kotoko goalkeeper Ibrahim Danlad is set for an extended spell on the sidelines after scans confirmed a fracture to his left ankle.
Danlad sustained the injury during Asante Kotoko’s 2-0 defeat to Aduana FC on Sunday in the Ghana Premier League.
The goalkeeper was forced to leave the game after suffering the injury, with subsequent medical examinations confirming the extent of the damage.
The ankle fracture is expected to keep Danlad out for a significant period, dealing a setback to the goalkeeper and the Kumasi-based club as they continue their campaign.
Danlad has been an important member of the Kotoko squad, and his absence will leave the technical team with the task of managing the goalkeeping department while he undergoes treatment and rehabilitation.
The club will now monitor his recovery closely, with his eventual return depending on the progress he makes during the rehabilitation process.
His injury comes at a difficult time for Asante Kotoko following their defeat to Aduana FC, as the club looks to regroup and return to winning ways in the league.
The Porcupine Warriors will now have to rely on their available goalkeeping options while Danlad focuses on recovering fully from the ankle fracture.
