Medeama goalkeeper Felix Kyei will be absent from the team’s crucial Premier League match against league leaders FC Samartex 1996, as he has been granted compassionate leave following the passing of his father.
In a statement on social media, the club expressed its heartfelt condolences to Felix Kyei and his family during this difficult time, affirming their support and solidarity.
Kyei’s absence comes as a significant setback for Medeama, considering his instrumental role in the team’s successful campaign this season. As the mainstay of the squad, Kyei has delivered impressive performances, particularly during the club’s maiden appearance in the CAF Champions League.
Despite the absence of Kyei, Medeama faces a daunting challenge against FC Samartex 1996 in the Western derby on Sunday.
The Timber giants, enjoying a stellar campaign in the domestic top-flight, are considered overwhelming favorites against their regional rivals.
Samartex will be eager to secure victory over the defending champions and solidify their position at the top of the league standings.
