Asante Kotoko SC has confirmed that midfielder Andrews Ntim Manu has sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and is set to undergo surgery in the coming days.
The injury was sustained during our recent FA Cup victory over Golden Kick, where the midfielder was hauled off, five minutes into the second half and following a thorough medical assessment and imaging, our medical team and expert Doctors advise that surgical intervention is required. Recovery and rehabilitation are expected to rule him out of action for approximately nine months.
This is undoubtedly a significant setback for both the player and the club as we begin preparations for the CAF Confederation Cup as well as the new league season. Andrews was the lynchpin of our midfield last season, demonstrating his exceptional commitment, and quality on the pitch.
Everyone at Asante Kotoko SC stands firmly behind Andrews during this difficult period.
