Ghanaian midfielder, Daniel-Kofi Kyereh ruled out for season after injury setback



Ghanaian midfielder Daniel-Kofi Kyereh is facing a season-long absence due to a cruciate ligament injury he sustained just before the start of the campaign in July.

Freiburg coach Christian Streich has confirmed that Kyereh’s recovery has not progressed as hoped, ruling him out for the rest of the season.

Despite undergoing surgery and beginning his rehabilitation earlier this year, Kyereh has yet to rejoin training with his teammates.

His continued absence from first-team training suggests that he will continue his recovery until he is fully ready to return to action.

Kyereh, who joined Freiburg from FC St. Pauli for €4.5 million in the summer of 2022, has been limited to only 18 competitive games.

Kyereh’s absence is a significant setback for Freiburg’s attacking options, as he was a key player for the team before his injury.

Streich has had to rely on other players to fill the gap left by Kyereh as they aim for a strong finish to the season.

The injury also prevented Kyereh from participating in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, and with no confirmed return date, the Black Stars will continue to be without his services.
