Massive Blow for Asante Kotoko as Star Forward Ruled Out of Rest of the Season

• Isaac Oppong has been ruled out of the rest of the Ghana Premier League season after undergoing a knee surgery
• The promising attacking footballer suffered an injury to his knee during a league match against Kumasi-based King Faisal
• This will be double agony for coach Prosper Narteh Ogum who wanted to count on the 18-year-old for the remainder of the season

Asante Kotoko have been dealt a huge blow after forward Isaac Oppong is reported to have undergone a successful knee surgery.

The 18-year-old suffered the setback in December last year in a league game against local rivals King Faisal.

The promising teenagers later recovered to make a cameo in the stalemate against Hearts of Oak in the Ghana Premier League two months later.

Oppong has however been withdrawn from the Porcupine Warriors' activities following advise from the medical team of the Kumasi-based club, according to Ghanasoccernet.

His season is reported to be over after the boy wonder underwent surgery to correct the knee injury at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi.
