Kotoko to Miss Ntim Manu Action for Next Nine Months
Andrews Ntim Manu is expected to be sidelined for the next nine months due to an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, a major blow to Asante Kotoko SC.
The midfielder sustained the injury and was subbed off five minutes into the second half of the MTN FA Cup two weeks ago.
According to Kotoko, medical experts proposed surgical intervention after a thorough medical assessment and imaging.
“Recovery and rehabilitation are expected to rule him out of action for approximately nine months,” it disclosed as it noted that he will undergo surgery in the coming days.
Kotoko in its statement acknowledged the impact this will have on the club.
“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 linchpin of our midfield last season, demonstrating his exceptional commitment, and quality on the pitch.”
It, however, affirmed its support for the player, saying, “Everyone at Asante Kotoko SC stands firmly behind Andrews during this difficult period.”
